Aarambh features seating, tables, benches and cabinets that balance sculptural clarity with everyday functionality
-
SOMETIMES, A PIECE of furniture comes along and changes everything around us. Aarambh, the latest furniture collection by Romit Savla’s Mumbai-based studio arm, Objects by Soch, is an invitation to reconsider the quiet power of well-made objects and their power to transform spaces.
Aarambh, meaning “beginning”, marks a fresh chapter in the studio’s journey into furniture and lighting design. “The collection reflects the full potential of design thinking and material exploration through thoughtfully crafted furniture and lighting pieces,” says Romit.
The collection features seating, tables, benches and cabinets that balance sculptural clarity with everyday functionality. “Each creation is developed with a deep understanding of scale, proportion, and ergonomics, ensuring both aesthetic harmony and functional comfort.”
