Doshi Levien is an internationally acclaimed design studio founded by designers Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien. Designers, Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien met at the Royal College of Art. Their London-based studio is internationally renowned for its marriage of culture, technology, industrial design, and fine craftsmanship.
Nipa grew up in India and studied at the National Institute of Design, founded on the manifesto by Charles and Ray Eames; Jonathan trained in fine cabinet making followed by industrial design. Together, they strive to create work that transcends rational and functional qualities, to imbue a sense of true inner beauty in their projects. What makes Doshi Levien’s work so distinctive is not just their confident relationship to colour, material and form, but their ability to translate meticulous design ideas to the context of production. This has enabled them to work coherently across industries and categories, from colour to textiles, footwear to lighting, furniture to ceramics, often bringing their understanding of one process to their work on another.
