Takbir Fatima Studio: A Playground for All Kinds of Fabrication Experiments

Takbir Fatima Studio

The DesignAware studio was DesignAware’s first renovation project, converted from a 30-year-old house. The house was initially in a dilapidated condition and most of the limited budget went into building repairs, which left minimal for spatial and interior design.

Because of this, almost everything in the studio was made from upcycled furniture and equipment and custom-designed and built furniture.

The studio became a playground of sorts for all kinds of fabrication experiments which gave birth to many product, furniture and lighting designs.

"We like to keep the look of the studio bare and minimalistic in black, white and gray with pops of bright orange from the DesignAware logo," shares Takbir.

The studio has grown over time and been taken over by models and prototypes of various projects. The old building with its green outdoor spaces lends a charm to the studio space, and it now serves as a walk-in portfolio of our work.
