Studio Svelte

Studio Svelte is located over at F-312 in Sector-63. It’s a pretty standard office space in a building that looks like every other one on this street. We have a few long tables where everyone sits with their laptops, and there are always too many cables tangled on the floor. The walls are mostly bare except for some sketches pinned up with tape. We aren't the type to wear suits; usually, it’s just jeans and t-shirts around here. The coffee machine breaks down about once a month, which is a bit of a disaster for us. We spend a lot of time staring at screens and arguing about where a wall should go or what color a couch should be. It’s not always glamorous work, especially when we’re stuck on a technical drawing for six hours straight. The air conditioner makes a weird rattling noise when it’s on full blast, but you get used to it after a while. We have a small corner for samples, which is just a mess of wood scraps, tile pieces, and fabric swatches. It’s hard to keep it tidy when we are constantly pulling things out to show someone. We just try to get the work done and hope the electricity doesn't cut out during a deadline. It's just a regular group of people doing design work in Noida.
