A selection of Nipa’s objects
This drawing captures the designers’ vision for Das Haus (IMM Cologne, 2012), a rethinking of the home as layered and plural, structured around daily rituals. Objects like Chandlo were conceived as both furniture and fragments of architecture, shaping intimate spaces for activities such as dressing, eating, and resting.

Nipa making a model
Nipa Doshi shapes an early model for the Earth to Sky collection using just paper and a stick—capturing the essence of form, balance, and lightness in its most elemental expression.
“For me beautifully-made objects and things are a symbol of our existence and I find them very reassuring. They express human endeavour and creativity. I can’t rid myself of the love of objects.”
