Longlisted for Dezeen Awards 2021 emerging design studio of the year, and founded in 2018 by Indian designers Utharaa L Zacharias and Palaash Chaudhary, soft-geometry is a collaborative design studio creating furniture and home objects around a central theme of softness.
Their work employs craft, slowness, intimacy and humor as agents of empathy between object and person, plotting softness obsessively across material, tactile, visual and emotional axes. Working between Kochi in India and California’s Bay Area in the US, the studio often references the rich visual culture and hand-crafts of Zacharias’ and Chaudhary’s Indian home towns and derives opportunities to bridge traditional and modern ways of making and seeing.

This project has been longlisted in the emerging design studio of the year category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
