This week, Monisha is looking at walls. No, really. Voices For Local steps into the world of home decor on this episode, as Monisha speaks to the Founder & Managing Partner of Kalakaari Haath, Sahiba Madan. Kalakaari Haath is a design studio that makes beautiful wallpapers, wall arts and decals in traditional prints. Sahiba tells Monisha about using design as a medium of storytelling, the story behind her brand name, balancing her designers’ artistic freedom and her clients’ vision, and how she wants to make walls more spatial and interactive elements in peoples’ homes.

To check out Kalakaari Haath’s work, log onto their website kalakaarihaath.com, and follow their journey on Instagram @KalakaariHaath.
