— The core team

The hands
behind the work.

Flamingo is a small studio by design. Nine people lead, build, and ship every project — backed by a permanent workshop crew of sixty plus. Below: the ones whose names go on the brief.

— Founder

Founder Name

Founder & Principal Designer

Founded Flamingo Lifestyles in 2005, after two decades on the floor with three of South India's leading furniture houses. The studio's voice — quiet, considered, built to outlast — comes directly from her hand. She still leads design on every residential commission and chairs the workshop's monthly material review.

Has personally specified every signature collection that bears the studio's name — Westminster, Richard, President, Brennen, Kensington, Alcazar. Trained in furniture design and conservation joinery; teaches occasionally at design schools in Bengaluru and Chennai.

“Every room is a long conversation with the materials. We just take dictation.”

— Directors

Two people who
hold the floor.

The directors run the two halves of the studio — the work that goes out the door, and the floor it leaves from.

Director One

Director · Hospitality & Corporate

Joined Flamingo in 2008 as a project manager and now leads the studio's hospitality and corporate practice. Has shipped over forty fit-outs across South India, from 5,400-sq-ft restaurants to multi-floor corporate HQs.

Director Two

Director · Workshop & Operations

Runs the Bengaluru workshop floor — six trades, sixty-plus permanent crew, the QC desk, the dispatch ledger. Joined Flamingo in 2012 after eleven years in fine joinery and upholstery management.

— The standing crew

Six who hold
the brief.

Project leads, senior designers, workshop supervisors and operations. Each runs an end of the studio with the same accountability we expect from ourselves.
