About the gallery
The Raw House is a gallery in Ahmedabad where diverse disciplines — product and furniture design, textiles, accessories, fine arts, and sculpture — come together to celebrate the transformative landscape of creativity.
What we do
The Raw House was founded with a belief that objects carry meaning beyond their function — that a handwoven textile, a considered piece of furniture, or a vessel pulled from clay each hold the time, attention, and sensibility of the person who made them.
The gallery acts as a bridge: between studios and the city, between disciplines that rarely share a room, and between the work and the people who will live with it. Each collection is organised not around a category but around a sensibility — a quality of light, a material logic, an approach to the act of making.
Ahmedabad has long been a city of craft and commerce, of architecture that takes its time. The Raw House is rooted in that tradition — and quietly determined to extend it.
The founders
Co-founder · Curation & Design
Priyadarshini's practice sits at the intersection of design, craft, and the people who will ultimately live with both. Her work as a curator is rooted in a straightforward conviction: that traditional knowledge, when held in genuine dialogue with contemporary making, produces something neither could arrive at alone.
At The Raw House, she brings together designers, architects, and artisan communities whose practices might otherwise never share a room — and finds the points where their distinct sensibilities can reinforce each other. Her interest is not in craft as heritage display, but in craft as a living creative tool that continues to find relevance in the spaces and objects of today.
She is based in Ahmedabad.
Co-founder · Architecture & Design
Pranali is an architect and design professional whose practice spans spatial design, interiors, and product. She is the founder of Naibu Design Studio, and it is through that lens — of how objects inhabit and define the rooms they are placed in — that she brings a particular spatial intelligence to The Raw House.
The gallery is, in part, a spatial argument: that the way a collection is arranged, lit, and experienced is as much a part of its meaning as the works themselves. Pranali's involvement at The Raw House is a direct extension of her architectural thinking. Through Naibu Design, her studio also participates in the gallery's own exhibitions — most recently in Craft Collective India, where Naibu Design's sculptural works are on show.
She is based in Ahmedabad.
The space
The gallery occupies a space in Makarba, Ahmedabad. The space was conceived alongside the gallery's founding programme — not retrofitted into a room, but designed as part of it. Natural light varies across the day; most collections are arranged to be seen in the afternoon, when the quality of light is best.
