India’s luxury interiors market is undergoing a significant transformation. Today’s discerning consumers value authenticity, performance, and global pedigree over surface-level opulence. Among the firms shaping this evolution is Mind Studio, led by founder Aadesh Runwal, whose work has consistently focused on importing and integrating Italian luxury furniture into India’s most refined residential and commercial spaces.
Runwal’s journey began in Milan, where he completed his Master’s in Business Design from Domus Academy, one of Europe’s most influential design institutions. Immersed in Italy’s culture of craftsmanship, manufacturing precision, and brand-led thinking, he developed an early understanding of furniture as both a design and business discipline.
Italy taught me that furniture is not an accessory, says Runwal. It is a system—of materials, engineering, ergonomics, and legacy. That thinking has guided everything we’ve built at Mind Studio.
Founded 13 years ago, Mind Studio was conceived with a distinctly international outlook. From its inception, the firm collaborated closely with European manufacturers, making luxury furniture imports—particularly from Italy—a central pillar of its practice. Rather than treating furniture as a decorative layer, the studio integrated it into the core of spatial planning, functionality, and long-term asset value.
Over the last decade, Mind Studio has completed more than 250 projects across India, collaborating with over 100 European brands, with a sustained focus on Italian manufacturers renowned for their heritage, innovation, and technical excellence. These collaborations span high-end residences, corporate offices, hospitality environments, and bespoke commercial spaces.
What sets Mind Studio apart is its curated, design-led import model. Every product is rigorously evaluated for Indian conditions—climate, scale, usage patterns, and longevity. Italian craftsmanship is not transplanted blindly; it is carefully adapted to ensure relevance, durability, and performance in the Indian context.
Luxury only works when it lasts,” Runwal explains.Our responsibility is to ensure that what we import performs just as well five or ten years later—not just on day one.
Mind Studio functions as a single-point partner for its clients, managing the entire value chain—from design alignment and manufacturer selection to technical detailing, customisation, import logistics, quality control, and on-site installation. This end-to-end accountability reduces risk and brings clarity to a category often perceived as complex and fragmented.
From a business standpoint, the firm’s growth has been deliberate and disciplined. While demand for Italian luxury furniture in India has accelerated, Mind Studio has prioritised depth over scale—strengthening manufacturer relationships, maintaining strict quality control, and ensuring consistency across projects. Each European partnership is built on shared values of ethics, reliability, and long-term collaboration.
Internally, the studio operates with a deep understanding of global manufacturing and supply chains. Designers are trained to engage not only with aesthetics, but also with material science, production processes, and logistics—allowing the firm to perform at international benchmarks while remaining commercially viable in India.
Today, Mind Studio stands as more than a design firm—it is a strategic gateway between Italy’s finest furniture brands and India’s evolving luxury market. Built on education, relationships, and executional rigor, Aadesh Runwal’s vision continues to shape a more mature, transparent, and globally aligned future for luxury interiors in India.
