DOSHI & LEVIEN

Doshi Levien was founded by designers Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien, who met at the Royal College of Art. The London-based studio is internationally recognised as a marriage of culture, technology, industrial design and craft. Nipa grew up in India and studied at the National Institute of Design, founded on the manifesto of Charles and Ray Eames; Jonathan trained in fine cabinet making and then industrial design. Together, they strive to create a design with rational and functional qualities, to infuse their projects with a sense of inner beauty. Nipa's practice is rooted in his diverse upbringing and discerning eye for visual culture; Jonathan's in industrial precision, combined with the sensitivity of a maker's hand and a deep understanding of materials. What makes Doshi Levien's work so distinctive is not only their confident relationship with colour, material and form, but also their ability to translate meticulous design ideas into the context of production. The duo has created design pieces for leading manufacturers such as B&B Italia, Moroso, Kvadrat and Cappellini, as well as for prestigious museums, international cultural institutions and art galleries.
