Ideology
“I always found it difficult to imagine a world without inspirational surroundings and colours.”
— Maham Iftikhar, founder & principal designer
During my art training at the University of the Arts London as a painter, my mind was always busy employing bold splashes of colour on huge canvases to make my studio space jubilant and liveable. As an upshot, Studio Red Shed — an interior design studio — was born in 2008.
Embedded in our traditional grounds yet stimulated by the modern world, we try to bring dreams into reality. Our team of young, dedicated architects and engineers gives technical and civil support, while artists and designers bring about awe-inspiring environments.
The ideology of our studio is to create practical yet charismatically designed living and workspaces. Our expertise spans exclusive designs from grey structure to hard finishes, furnishings, draperies and woodwork. At Studio Red Shed, our clients are key members of our team.
Today the same painter’s instinct drives our AI Studio: new tools, the same eye for colour, light and the feeling of a room.
