The past is the launching point for innovating the future
Rooms Studio, an interior design and home collectibles
design studio born in Tbilisi, Georgia,
was founded by Nata Janberidze and Keti Toloraia in 2007,
marking it as the first studio operated by women at that time.
Located in Tbilisi, a melting pot of multiculturalism,
they excel at drawing inspiration from the rich historical
and cultural heritage of Eastern Europe,
blending it with cutting-edge contemporary design.
By transforming inspirations garnered from Tbilisi's time-honored streets,
architecture, ancient patterns, and shapes,
they have created a unique design language
that embodies both primitive and modern values and symbolism.
Rooms Studio has consistently upheld the traditions of
Georgian craftsmanship, crafting by hand with natural materials.
They capture functional elements amidst decorative motifs,
or the immense beauty in fleeting, practical, and anonymous designs,
breaking through traditional constraints with a distinctive female touch.
These creations, honed by traditional artisans, weavers,
and manufacturers, convey a primal, uniquely precious connection with humanity.
A defining characteristic of Rooms Studio lies in the extensive reuse of
sculptural forms and elements, allowing history and art to continuously intertwine
as they seek a balance between solidity and fluidity, permanence,
and the fleetingness of moments through practice.
The creations of Rooms Studio are intuitive and fluid.
In its nine independent series and collaborative works,
Rooms Studio delves into the exploration of the boundaries
between the public and private realms, seamlessly integrating
a decade's worth of observations and reflections on culture
and social transformations by Janberidze and Toloraia.

It is not difficult to discern the power of women in the works of Rooms Studio,
where Eastern and Western cultures are seamlessly fused in a unique and coherent manner,
echoing a common trait shared by Rooms Studio and ANEST COLLECTIVE.
The inheritance of ancient craftsmanship is akin to a century-long dialogue,
infusing modern design with distant imagination.
