Designer Emily Adams Bode Aujla and Aaron Aujla, co-founder of interior design firm Green River Project LLC, are the husband-wife creative duo and modern-day storytellers behind menswear brand Bode. At their home, studio-cum-bar and tailoring-meets-coffee shop, a trifecta relationship between clothing, archiving and narrative-based design is firmly established. Here, a found-object approach (Emily refashioned a pair of curtains from her grandmother’s lace collection) ensures a cultural continuum via creativity, where nothing is without provenance and everything finds a function. Vogue India gets a glimpse inside their world, where art dresses fashion, clothes make the home and a community connects over cardamom-spiced Indian coffee. Excerpts from the conversation:
Akanksha Kamath: Two creatives, two partners—where do your aesthetics meet and where do they diverge?
Emily Adams Bode Aujla: My aesthetic is founded on principles of craft, so I would say it is craft-based and familial.
Aaron Aujla: At Green River Project, our design is research-based. We take a moment in time, a material, a person, and kind of dive into the history and produce items, products and pieces of furniture based on that.
EABA: We love to work with the domestic space and narrative-based work.
