Hi, I’m Shivya Ahuja, founder of Studio Grain.
My journey began in New York, where I honed my craft designing spaces for iconic properties like the Beverly Hills Hotel and several properties under the Marriott umbrella , learning the nuances of timeless luxury and refined functionality. Those years shaped my understanding of how design can elevate not just spaces, but the lives lived within them.
Guided by the rugged elegance and her roots from the Himalayas, Shivya Ahuja reimagines its essence into Studio Grain’s designs, crafting pieces that echo the natural world while embracing brutal and sophisticated refinement.
Studio Grain is deeply personal—a way for me to bring together the raw beauty of my Himalayan heritage and the polished, cosmopolitan sensibilities I’ve absorbed over the years. I’ve always been drawn to the juxtaposition of contrasts: the ruggedness of natural materials against clean, contemporary lines, the timeless appeal of tradition reinterpreted through a modern lens.
Every piece we create at Studio Grain is crafted to stand as more than furniture—it’s a statement, an heirloom, a conversation starter. It’s for those who appreciate restraint over excess, elegance over trends, and the quiet confidence that comes from true craftsmanship. My work is a celebration of the art of living—global yet grounded, modern yet rooted in authenticity. Welcome to Studio Grain, where design is more than aesthetics - it’s a way of life.
Guided by a passion for elegance and craftsmanship:
Merging the untamed spirit of the Himalayas with the poise of refined craftsmanship, we create pieces that stand the test of time and style.
We design striking, sophisticated furniture that balances raw, natural beauty with timeless refinement. Crafted from the finest materials and shaped by master artisans, our pieces echo the charm of countryside craftsmanship, reimagined with a modern, cosmopolitan elegance.
