Nata Janberidze and Keti Toloraia established Rooms Studio in 2007, the first female-run studio in Tbilisi, Georgia. Working primarily on collectible objects and designing various architectural spaces, the duo lifted inspiration from Western European design principles before reflecting on ancient Medieval Georgian and Soviet design. Translating these old motifs into a contemporary design language, while reclaiming and re-creating a new design identity, has been the studio’s main fields of interest since.
Celebrating hand-crafted design using natural materials such as wood, stone and metal, the studio lifts cues from ethnography, mythology, traditional and modernist elements to create an authentic and distinctive design language.
