soft-geometry is an Indian design studio working across lighting, objects, and furniture, distinguished by its exploration of softness as a cultural, emotional, and material condition. The practice approaches design through ritualistic hand-building and deliberately slow processes, allowing form to emerge with sensitivity and intention.
Rooted in Indian narratives yet expressed through contemporary vocabularies, the studio’s work reflects a nuanced dialogue between tradition and present-day making. Each project is shaped by touch, time, and material behavior, resulting in objects that carry a quiet intimacy and tactile depth.
Founded in 2019 by Utharaa L. Zacharias and Palaash Chaudhary, soft-geometry operates with an evolving methodology. Each year, the studio shifts its focus to new materials, techniques, typologies, and scales of production, using change as a means of continued inquiry. Despite this constant evolution, the pursuit of softness remains its guiding principle—an enduring thread that connects experimentation, craft, and emotional resonance. Based in Los Angeles, the studio continues to expand its practice across cultures and contexts while maintaining a deeply reflective approach to design.
