India Mahdavi is a Franco-Iranian architect and designer. More than twenty years after founding her studio, she has reshaped the design landscape with her unmistakable aesthetic, marked by visionary spaces, prestigious collaborations, and her own line of furniture.
Her signature style is evident in environments filled with vibrant color palettes, fluid forms, and a vision of beauty that resists uniformity and standardization. Craftsmanship is the common thread in her creations: a careful balance of boldness and restraint, of extravagance and design precision, far from conformity.
In her projects, color is not mere decoration but an expressive language that transforms space into a warm, immersive sensory experience. She has designed iconic locations such as hotels, restaurants, concept stores, and clubs—from the Monte Carlo Beach Hotel to the Gallery at Sketch in London, and Ladurée in Los Angeles and Tokyo.
With her eclectic and nomadic approach, Mahdavi reinterprets luxury with a sense of lightness, turning Oriental pop into a refined spatial poetry.
