We are honoured to be featured by Travel + Leisure Asia in their editorial on Indian collectors and curators who shape the country’s art, design, and cultural narrative.
The feature offers an intimate glimpse into RARA Studio, the furniture atelier founded by Chef Arshita Singhvi, and the quiet philosophy that guides its curation — one rooted in intuition, memory, and storytelling rather than convention or trend.
Excerpts from the Feature
At RARA Studio, Arshita Singhvi arranges her finds — colonial readers, writing desks, and 19th-century candle lamps that seem to glow with their own memories — each piece carrying a sense of lived history.
Her approach to curation is instinctive and deeply personal. As she shares in the feature,
“I don’t think of it as collecting. It’s more like keeping pieces of a story. I’m drawn to objects that feel like they’ve lived.”
The article also traces how these stories move beyond the atelier. A hand-embroidered tapestry discovered during her travels now hangs framed at Donna Cucina, weaving RARA’s narrative into another space shaped by craft and culture.
Travel, for Singhvi, is an act of quiet attention.
“You stumble upon things. A piece looks back at you, and you know — it’s already chosen you.”
Being featured in Travel + Leisure Asia is a meaningful moment for RARA Studio, reaffirming our belief that true value lies in objects that carry memory, time, and soul.
