Gauri Designs

Textile keepsakes, soft sculpture, crochet, macrame and candles by Gauri Vishnoi, a 72-year-old maker whose work carries the calm rhythm of hands that have practiced beauty for decades.

The studio language

Every piece is made to feel personal, tactile and quietly special.

Gauri Designs celebrates slow work: generous textures, thoughtful color, natural drape and details that invite touch. The boutique is a gallery, not a shop, created to preserve and share the grace of handmade things.
