Out Of The Woods

‘Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.’

- Andy Warhol

Rohit Khemka’s RR Décor sits as a distinguished studio in Okhla, Delhi. Inside Kemka’s RR Decor, Aarti Aggarwal’s Knock on wood has successfully crafted a raw industrial look by enhancing the overall aesthetic and visual compositions of the studio. The oxidized MS panel walls stand tall with a glimpse of the intricately woven fabrics of RR décor. Whether it is the rustic design on the panels that emphasize the indigos of RR’s latest collection or the mild steel along with the raw burnt wood becoming the perfect foil for plush velvets, the discreet, unique and subtle impressions of the studio leave you thinking all about the design, colours, and textures.

Industrial look, aesthetic design

The ethos of the studio is based on the collaboration of Aarti Aggarwal’s vision and Rohit Khemka’s industrial take. Rohit approached Knock on Wood to redesign his studio in Okhla. The essence of this partnership was to keep everything raw and in its original state. Knock on Wood worked along the lines of the brief by rendering all the finishes bare and keeping the look as rustic as possible. Knock on wood has been a celebrated brand when it comes to specialization in bespoke wooden furniture. With Aarti Aggarwal’s manifestation of western and traditional designs, the brand has a mesmerizing, soothing and layered tonality which is beyond the realm of simple craftsmanship. Among its other accolades, Knock on wood was shortlisted for the ILA awards 2016 and Rohit Khemka, the owner of RR Décor, was the textile designer partner. It is a chance partnership that both these units valuing design and art have come together to create the luxe factor of RR Décor.
