I’m Varshika, founder and principal designer at PARTHIV, an interior design consultancy for residential spaces based out of Hyderabad, India. ‘Parthiv’ means ‘something beautiful born of earth’ and I like to use natural materials, seeming to blend a space in with its surroundings, at the same time strikingly regal in its simplicity. The fun lies in contextualizing the space locally and combining it global styles, shapes and design ideas. I like to research global designers and take inspiration from their work while staying rooted and emphasizing our local forms, materials, motifs and fabrics.
