Ayush Kasliwal

  Ayush Kasliwal founded his own design business (AKFD) in 2006, having studied furniture design at the National Institute of Design (NID). Ayush’s design studio AKFD is committed to developing ideas using local crafts that have evolved over centuries. His main reason for basing the studio in Jaipur was to work with local artisans and create simple, everyday objects with them. AKFD’s products reflect a detailed understanding of processes and materials, be it beaten brass, stone carving or even mirror work.
