JOANNA BUCHANAN

Founder at La Kairos, Shreya Jain turned her love for travel and home into a cornucopia of luxury lifestyle furnishings which value quality, modern design and personalization above all else. A graduate from Central Saint Martin’s, London, Shreya has brought her luxe yet liveable aesthetic to interiors across the globe.


LEAH SINGH

The creative genius behind her eponymous brand, Leah Singh grew up in India surrounded by its rich cultural heritage, and spent her summers in New York surrounded by the structured, minimal lines of Western architecture. Her eclectic upbringing is reflected in each piece she designs.


MUDITA MULL

Founder of her eponymous brand, Mudita Mull’s soulfully handcrafted creations are brought to life through artistic expression. Her striking and highly collectable contemporary products honour artisans’ craftsmanship helping the evolution of the creative arts.

VERNIKA SINGH

Artist Vernika Singh uses mixed mediums to represent her emotions and phases in life in the form of elements of the ocean. The artist’s use of colours and materials is in fact aimed at creating a sublime form, something that stands outside reality rather than in it.


BANI CHAWLA

An avid art enthusiast, Bani Chawla’s Suite Nº8 is a home décor brand that gives your space a touch of fancy. A strong believer of ‘Make in India’, Bani supports traditional craft clusters and fuses the vintage with the contemporary to create timeless collections.


TUDA MUDA

A visual artist, Tuda Muda a.k.a. Samrridhi Kukreja is an emerging artist and an old-fashioned printmaker. The need to identify the two personas within herself and the desire to preview her practice from a 3-dimensional perspective became the driving forces that allowed her to truly explore all possible mediums of expression.

From pioneering visionaries to contemporary talents, The House Of Things is proud to be associated with these exceptional women.
