SAKKSHI GEHANI - FOUNDER AT SVARRUH ATELIER

Having entered the design industry in 2013 and working on noteworthy projects, I established my independent practice in 2017 as Innover by Sakshi Gehani, a studio that carried my work into the world and shaped me through years of award-winning, deeply personal projects. 

Svarruh Atelier is its evolution. 

A new name for a truer direction. 

For over a decade, I designed constantly , across typologies, scales, and styles, including holiday homes and wellness retreats. The work grew, and the studio grew. But somewhere, quietly, the spark began to fade. 

And then life asked me to pause. 

When someone you love moves through a period of deep fragility, everything becomes more immediate , more tender, more real. Not long after, I entered that same stillness myself. 

For the first time in my 13-year-long practice, I wasn't just an interior designer in motion, but a human being learning to rest and recover. 

My relationship with space changed completely, during this phase. 

I began to notice what I had once overlooked, the air, the materials, the absence of nature in our cities, and the quiet power of environments that allow us to soften. 

I began to notice the growing absence of our culture and unremarkable history and wisdom around art and architecture that carried our heritage. 

Thus began my journey of reinvention. 

Svarruh Atelier is the answer to all those questions I found myself in the middle of, whilst healing 

Svarruh Atelier isn't a rebrand. It is a practice shaped by experience and is my evolution as a designer 

Svarruh is my return to everything that truly matters

It is my return to BUILD spaces that are nature-led 

It is my return to DESIGN objects that celebrate our roots of Indian heritage, not as nostalgia but as a global presence
