Shalini Misra

What Shalini Misra does

Shalini Misra is a London-based luxury interior design practice founded in 1997, operating as Shalini Misra Ltd with offices in London, New York, Delhi, and Dubai, and serving ultra high net worth private clients, select commercial clients, and specialty aviation projects worldwide. The core practice delivers a full-service offering spanning interior architecture, interior design, FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment) design, art curation, and bespoke commissions, with each project executed as a tailored, multi-year engagement — recent examples include a 9,500 sq ft Victorian villa restoration in London, a Manhattan pied-à-terre, and a custom Bombardier Global XRS private jet interior. The practice uses state-of-the-art 3D modeling integrated with AV and lighting technology to support spatial planning and design visualization, and applies a wellness-oriented design philosophy that integrates art curation into the architectural language of each space.

The firm operates two adjacent ventures: Curio Space, a global eCommerce platform launched in 2022 that curates furniture, lighting, accessories and art from over 100 makers and artisans worldwide with a 20-person team across the UK, UAE and India; and the Shakti Design Residency, launched in 2024 as an annual programme connecting global designers with Indian artisans under a prestigious mentorship panel. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on bespoke design projects (quote-based, with multi-year contracts) and marketplace commissions via Curio Space. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting UHNW individuals and private commercial clients, supported by high-profile earned media in Wallpaper*, Dezeen, Architectural Digest, AD Middle East, Robb Report, and a string of industry awards including House and Garden Top 100 (2024), Andrew Martin Top 100, and Design Et Al Elite Global Project Award (2023). The company is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investment, and brand authority is concentrated in founder Shalini Misra, whose personal reputation and artisan network constitute a core operating asset.
