Artisan-Made Thikri Décor for Contemporary Living

At INARA, design begins with a simple question: how can an ancient craft live naturally inside a modern home?

I have always loved intricate, detailed designs - the kind that make you pause and look a little closer. But our vision is not only about detail; it is about relevance. We want thikri mirror art to move beyond traditional settings and find a true place in contemporary interiors in calm apartments, minimal homes, and everyday spaces that need something meaningful rather than merely decorative.

Most thikri work follows familiar, heavy patterns shaped by the past. We chose another path. Our designs are created to fit the way people live today ~ with lighter layouts, balanced proportions, modern typography, and breathing space around the craft. The technique remains ancient, but the expression becomes new.

Instead of repeating what has always been done, we ask different questions:
Can thikri sit inside a minimal frame?
Can it become a personalised artwork, not just ornamentation?
Can it speak to someone who has never lived with Indian craft before?

This approach changes everything. When design becomes contemporary, the craft travels further. A young couple choosing a wedding gift, an architect styling a modern home, someone decorating their first space, suddenly thikri is not only heritage, it is a living choice.

By designing for today’s interiors, we are creating more opportunities for the artisans who work with us. Every new style, every custom piece, every modern composition allows the craft to grow beyond its traditional boundaries and step into the future with confidence.

Our design language is simple:
intricate yet uncluttered,
traditional in technique, modern in form,
personal, meaningful, and made to live with.

Whether it is a small panel or a large statement artwork, we aim to achieve the finest details this craft can offer while keeping the design gentle enough to belong in everyday life.

For us, good design is a bridge ~
between old hands and new homes,
between heritage and tomorrow.

That is how we choose to be different.
