Sep 04: Furniture designer Yuvraj Vohra has unveiled the new Villaro Design Studio on MG Road, Delhi, introducing a furniture brand shaped by an architectural way of thinking. Trained in architecture, Vohra approaches furniture not as standalone objects but as elements that influence how a space is experienced. His transition from designing buildings and interiors to designing furniture stems from a belief that furniture plays a defining role in shaping the character, function and atmosphere of a room.
“Architecture taught me to think about proportion, materiality and the relationship between objects and space,” says Vohra. “That thinking continues in every piece we create at Villaro. Furniture should not simply occupy a room; it should belong to it.” This philosophy forms the foundation of Villaro’s design language.
The collection brings together furniture that explores the relationship between architecture and material. A marble fireplace is treated as a sculptural architectural element. Sofas incorporate stone within their arms, creating a dialogue between soft and solid materials. Hand-fluted stone surfaces introduce texture and depth, while seamless corners allow forms to appear clean and uninterrupted. Across the collection, materials such as stone, marble, wood, metal and upholstery are used not merely as finishes but as integral components of the design. Shades of ivory, black and Calacatta Viola further define the visual language, allowing the character of each material to take centre stage.
Rather than following trends, the focus remains on material expression, construction and proportion. Every piece is developed with consideration for the architecture around it and the way it will be used within a space. Alongside its design philosophy, Villaro places significant emphasis on transparency during production. Before manufacturing begins, every piece undergoes a full kitting process, where materials, components and specifications are reviewed and approved. Quality checks are conducted at multiple stages of production, and clients receive QC reports throughout the making of their furniture, providing visibility into the journey from concept to completion. In an industry where manufacturing often remains hidden from the client, Villaro’s approach seeks to create greater confidence and accountability throughout the process.
The studio has also been envisioned as a resource for architects and interior designers seeking furniture solutions for residential and commercial projects. Beyond customisation of dimensions and finishes, the Villaro team supports professionals with furniture presentations, shop drawings, 3D files for project models, material samples, and digital and physical mood boards. The objective is to integrate furniture into the design process from an early stage, ensuring alignment between architecture, interiors and product development.
From concept discussions and technical detailing to manufacturing and installation, Villaro works closely with design professionals to help translate ideas into finished pieces. The new MG Road studio presents the collection through complete settings that allow visitors to understand furniture within a spatial context. However, the focus remains firmly on the pieces themselves, their materials, detailing, construction and relationship with the spaces they inhabit.
For homeowners, the studio offers an opportunity to explore furniture tailored to individual lifestyles and architectural requirements. For architects and interior designers, it serves as a collaborative environment where ideas, materials and technical solutions can be developed together.
With the launch of Villaro Design Studio, Yuvraj Vohra introduces a furniture brand that draws from architecture while remaining rooted in furniture design. Through material-driven design, production transparency and close collaboration with the design community, Villaro presents a considered approach to contemporary furniture for modern Indian homes and projects.
