As we step bravely into a new year, Freedom Tree Design Studio celebrates a decade of expressive, joyful design! Our free-spirited creations allow you to express yourself and be bold in your choices. We combine edgy color design and unique coordination to make everyday living beautiful.
While we turn 10 this year, our legacy began almost 30 years ago with the cult brand ‘Takete Maluma’ - India’s first contemporary home store in Mumbai. From there, we evolved into India’s first design trend and color consulting studio, and then into our beloved home decor brand, featuring textiles, ceramics and furniture that all bear our signature sense of joie de vivre.
As we look forward to another chapter, we’re also looking back to celebrate all that makes us special. This is the second in a series of blogs that explores our legacy as an original print design studio. Read the first blog here.
Our designs are a take on Modern India, refreshed and reinvigorated for global appeal. Our Mombaye collection is a shared experience of the metropolitan city we dwell in, while our narrative prints feature depictions of jungles both urban and natural.
Coming to you from the industrial heart of Mumbai, our design studio is continually stimulated by the narratives of the streets around us.
Our prints draw inspiration from a myriad of influences, but especially from the interpretations, intersections, and juxtapositions of different cultures and communities coming together.
Much of our design sensibility draws upon the fond memories of our childhood: gently rocking on the wicker chair of our grandparents’ verandah, baking birthday cakes and tea time treats with our mothers, and returning home from outdoor wanderings with our brothers and sisters, pockets filled with flowers to display around the house.
Striking a balance between past and present, our collections build upon these charming rituals to bring the sweetness of yesteryear into the present, and evoke sentiments that become the stories of tomorrow.
