The Opportunity:
We are looking for a highly creative, open-minded, and culturally aware product designer who can think outside the box and bring truly unique ideas to life. Our work lies at the intersection of craftsmanship, heritage, and luxury, where every product is designed as a collectible artifact, not just decor.
You’ll work closely with the founder, who brings strong conceptual direction and product ideas rooted in Indian architectural elements, cultural references, and material purity. Your role will be to build upon these ideas with your own creative voice, shape them with artistic sensitivity, and finally translate them into precise 3D models optimised for CNC machining in natural stones like granite, marble.
We are not creating typical mass-market designs. We are creating exclusive, limited-edition, international, and culturally meaningful stone objects that stand as symbols of identity, storytelling, and elevated material beauty.
Looking for:
Having experience in any one of the advanced proficiency in 3D modeling tools (Rhino / Fusion360 / ZBrush / Blender, etc.)
Ensure a balance between minimalism and cultural depth—aesthetic richness with manufacturing clarity.
Is innovative and original, not afraid to challenge conventional design language
Can create authentic, globally inspired designs with subtle references to culture, history, and architecture—from India and beyond (Mughal jaalis, Japanese Zen, Italian brutalism, etc.)
A creative portfolio that demonstrates unique object design, heritage or material sensitivity
Refine designs through feedback, and optionally contribute to renders for marketing use.
