WHY
Everyone deserves to experience design to more fully perceive the uniqueness of their environment. The STaND studio is an effort to bring together our shared vision to keep this passion and curiosity alive. We see such a space as a continuum of vibrant experimentation and learning. WHO
Siddhant Tikkoo and Nikita D’Silva
Our formative years were spent at an architecture and design school of new thought (Balwant Sheth School of Architecture), where individuality was encouraged to be explored and expressed. As two diametrically diverse thinkers, we seek to fuse our individual thought processes. Behind the obvious simplicity of our displays, is a plethora of design philosophies and questions, seeking to reach an equilibrium. WHAT
At STaND, we prefer to approach our design process organically, whether it involves visiting new places, working with our hands, attending workshops or sketching outdoors. We enjoy working on almost all things design: Architecture, Interiors, Furniture and Product. We work to ensure that our designs are contextual, functional and sustainable.

Exploring contrast through texture at a spa in Abu Dhabi.

Smooth surfaces designed to sit alongside tactile finishes, natural grains meeting soft upholstery, and subtle variations in reflectivity give the space a sense of depth, warmth and visual richness within a restrained palette.

Who said monotone has to mean flat or lacking in character?

It never ceases to amaze us just how much of a difference custom-designed furniture can make.

When furniture is designed around the specific needs and habits of its users, it can do so much more than simply serve a function. It can save time, make everyday tasks easier, improve how people move through a space and even change the way they work.

It’s something we keep coming back to as designers, and why we believe custom furniture deserves far more consideration than it often gets.

And perhaps the most interesting part? The more thought and effort that goes into resolving every little detail, the simpler and more effortless the final solution can feel.

Introducing Biyo: a women’s spa in Abu Dhabi

Biyo began with a simple brief // create a space that feels like an exhale.

For this project, our approach to spatial branding began with the brand itself; its inclination towards minimalism and the sense of calm and care it wanted to embody.

Within a restrained, monotone palette, we explored texture, materiality and form to create depth without visual noise. Curves became an important part of the spatial language extending the brand into the architecture while creating a sense of enclosure, as though the space wraps around you.

But much of the thinking behind Biyo lies in what you don’t immediately see.

We spent considerable time studying the workings of a spa: the movement and comfort of guests and therapists, ergonomics, service flows, storage and organisation, alongside the cultural nuances of designing a women’s wellness space specifically for the UAE. Every function needed a considered place, allowing the experience to remain intuitive, calm and deliberately free of clutter.

That research uncovered many interesting nuances about designing for wellness and gave us plenty to think about.

Over the next few posts, we’ll take you behind the design of Biyo, sharing some of those findings and the spatial decisions they informed. Come along.

It’s safe to say we haven’t thought about counters with quite this much rigour as we have for this luxury mithai and namkeen store.

In today’s context, we believe luxury is defined less by superficial opulence and more by the quality of experience it creates. And so, when designing the counters for a brand that is reimagining mithai and namkeen for the discerning Indian, we spent a great deal of time thinking about how to make a category that has traditionally felt ordinary feel considered, elevated, and experiential.

From introducing live elements into the retail counters, to building layers of storytelling into the shelves, to reinterpreting familiar visual cues from our collective memory of these foods in a contemporary context, every counter was designed to make the act of discovering and choosing feel like an experience in itself.

Here’s a closer look at the various counters we designed for a store we recently completed in Bandra, Mumbai.

Gifting is deeply woven into the fabric of Indian culture. From festivals and milestones to the simple act of expressing affection, sweets have always been a way of saying what words sometimes cannot.

For this luxury mithai and namkeen store, we wanted the gifting counter to be more than a place to pick up a box. We designed it as a space where the act of gifting could be thoughtfully experienced.

The counter and display area has been designed to encourage customers to pause, explore, and curate something personal for their loved ones, from the act of selection of the right mithais and namkeens to putting together combinations that feel just right.

While the gifting counter comes into its own during Diwali, its purpose extends well beyond the festive season. It remains an active, integral part of the store throughout the year, as customers return to create bespoke gifts for celebrations, milestones, and everyday gestures of affection.

Because gifting is rarely just about what is inside the box. It is about the thought, the selection, and the experience of putting it all together.

There is a particular feeling we design for: when a customer walks into a space, encounters an object, notices a detail and instinctively knows it belongs to the brand. Before they see a logo, read a sign, or are told what the brand is, they recognise it.

That recognition is not built through a collection of “aesthetic” choices. It comes from developing a distinctive vocabulary; a considered system of forms, proportions, materials, details, colours, rituals and spatial gestures that are rooted in the brand’s idea and repeated with intention.

Our process begins by asking what makes the brand itself. We look beyond its visual identity to its history, audience, product, cultural context and ambition, and translate those findings into design principles rather than isolated motifs. Those principles then inform everything from the architecture and furniture to the smallest touchpoint, creating a language that can evolve across formats without losing its identity.

Because in increasingly noisy markets, recognition is a form of defensibility. Trends can be copied. Materials can be replicated. A beautiful detail can be borrowed. But a vocabulary that has been authored, systematised and consistently expressed is much harder to reproduce because it is not simply a look; it is a way of thinking made visible.

And perhaps that is the real measure of a strong brand environment: not that it looks distinctive, but that it could only belong to one brand.
