Shaunak Patel
Studio Waah
Designer & Co-founder
I am an industrial designer and the co-founder of Studio Waah, an interdisciplinary design studio specializing in innovative home decor and lighting. My work explores the intersection of technology, art, and storytelling, creating immersive experiences, sculptural and functional pieces that spark conversations and ideas. With a passion for tech, material and process experimentation, my designs celebrate the small glimpses of wonder inspired from our day to day lives.
Design Approach and Inspiration
All of my ideas come from things that I observe in my day to day life. In the past three years I noticed that these ideas are also very closely linked to my journey of self-discovery and that’s what fuels my spontaneity to experiment and quickly prototype those ideas. I find myself very fixated on finding every possible means to make that idea come to real-life. And that’s when all the play of making-breaking tech, material and production processes begins for me!

What’s the one item in your home that you can’t live without, and why?
SP:My 3D Printer. All because of the kind of speed it brings to the spontaneity of my experimental play.
What’s your go-to playlist or song when you need a creative boost?
SP: Honestly, silence. It’s going to be the prime luxury in near future.
If you weren’t a designer, what would you be?
SP: A wanderer, helping people at all things handsy in return of food and shelter for the day.
