Our Firm

Embark on a journey where design is not just an art but also a science with Etagi Design Collaborative. Established informally in 2011 as a "Multi-Disciplinary Design Firm," we have been shaping spaces through our core expertise in Master Planning, Landscape Design, Architectural Design, Interior Design and Product Design. We believe in pushing the boundaries of traditional design and extending our services to related fields such as Graphic Design, Interaction Design and Branding & Identity creation.

At our core, we view design as a collaborative effort, involving all stakeholders in the project. Our design process is characterized by self-realization and a departure from preconceived ideas, allowing projects to evolve organically as they progress. Embracing the concept of temporariness, we explore how spaces can transform under various contexts, offering multiple uses and extending their utility. With each project, we approach it as a fresh start, striving to understand our client’s needs and aspirations. Our advisory and objective role fosters trust and collaboration, resulting in mutually satisfying outcomes. At Etagi Design Collaborative, we take pride in addressing projects in novel ways.

For Prospective Clients

We are happy to devote time and understand your requirements. We are open and forthcoming with information. If you are willing to listen, ask us and we will let you know what we know. If you want directions, we can give you one. If you want to walk on your own… we wish you good luck. Clients who understand and support our value systems are close to our heart. Our time is your money. For and on behalf of a Client... we design, draw up, specify, coordinate, oversee, cover their interests... so that they enjoy the spaces we conjure for them.

We are not a Construction Firm / Interior Contractor or a Material Supplier, but can help our Clients identify a competent person through due process.

The Office Philosophy

We love good design and the liberty which comes with being in the creative field. We believe that Design is a complex, funny, idiosyncratic field where you hear everyone’s opinions, but you are bold enough to make choices, that you believe in. We are like this only! Design is but a collaborative process. We hub net-work with the best people in the field and time has been our biggest tester. We are not “yes” people. We are people of ideas. And we can come up with many of them. Are you open to listen to / see them all?

As per the requirements of our Governing Statutory body, we offer Professional Design Consultancy Services only.

Our Workplace

Etagi Design Collaborative office is located in the older locality of Kumara Park West in central Bangalore. We are housed in one part of a 65-year-old building, of which the layout and most original materials have been consciously retained and repurposed.

To enhance the overall experience for both people working here and our visitors, we have created a welcoming studio space that balances professionalism and comfort… offering a seamless transition between work and relaxation through thoughtful design and functionality. We have a Pantry Area for snacks and refreshments. The Studio also has a small Book and a Construction Material Resource Library. A small charming outdoor garden adds character to the Studio, has places to unwind... enjoy a cup of coffee, spot "Grey" the resident neighborhood cat and the many small birds that visit us.

Statutory and Legal Compliance is something we have always focused on. We are a MSME Udyam Registered Firm with the Indian Government. Our firm name-logo is Trademarked & Copyrighted. All software we use for work are licensed with the latest supporting hardware.

Etagi Design Collaborative is a perfect space for creative work and ideas to come together.
