Evolving Style: From Studio Space to Home Base

Last fall, in our first Evolving Style feature, we took you inside the LA condo of new parents Stephanie Liu Hjelmeseth and her husband Kyle. Through a photo series showing off their previous and current homes, the pair walked us through each of the ways having a child had influenced their personal aesthetic. Overall, the evolution proved to be a masterclass on how to up the ante on practicality without losing your personal design identity.

In today's installment, we're revisiting a co-working space in Delhi, India. When we first peeked inside, Sarah Fotheringham and Maninder Singh, founders of textile brand Safomasi, shared the studio with three other companies whose styles and workflows varied greatly. While beautiful, the Delhi outpost held so many people that function often outshined form.

In the time since we first learned about the studio and the makers it held, all but Sarah and Maninder have moved on. Instead of doing the same, the pair has seized the opportunity, taken over the entire workshop and turned it into a combination live/work space. Seeing as they're now inside these four walls every hour of every day, they've had to make simple – yet impactful – changes to make it work. No matter the tweak, though, each one was born from a simple purpose: Promote productivity from nine to five and relaxation from five to nine. Scroll down to see how they did it, and enjoy! -Garrett
