Born in India and educated in New York at the Parsons School of Design, with past experience as a Bollywood actor and the soul of a globetrotter, Kunaal Kyhaan is a designer capable of blending the deeply spiritual traditions of India with an elegant, ultra-contemporary approach to design for an absolutely unique visual effect.
He developed a taste for theatrical spaces and objects while working on film sets and has been immersed in art and beauty since he was a child thanks to his mother, a interior designer, and his grandmother, an artist. His passion for nature and fascination with materials comes from the landscape of Kodaikanal, where he used to live. He works with stone, wood, metals and above all marble, which he hand-selects from the most precious and fascinating varieties sourced from all over India.
His aesthetic is a melting pot of cultures and languages, full of life yet always well-structured and coherent. His work is a continuous experiment, in which audacity of color, ultramodern technology and the many diverse artisan traditions of India all unite in extreme purity of form. The result is something totally unique: a fascinating dialogue between Indian identity and the expressive codes of global design and architecture.
