India Mahdavi grew up wanting to be a filmmaker to tell stories, finding comfort in an imaginary world. Strangely enough, she started studying architecture to do just that.

When opening her own business in 1999, she quickly understood she could tell stories through design, with each new project.

Born of Persian and Egyptian parents and named after the country in which she was conceived, during her parents honeymoon, she’s lived in places like Iran, Cambridge Massachusetts, New York and Germany, before setting her heart on Paris, where she resides and has her atelier today.

Her nomadic life, made India into a the versatile artist she is today, having work done in various fields such as interior and product design, architecture and even writing.

India´s style is playful, sexy and chic, mixing a bit of sense of humor and risk, never forgetting the story she wants to tell you, even if it is though her jewelry line or her interior designing.
