Haripriya
Warmth, character and intention, in every detail.
“I design spaces, furniture, and experiences that feel thoughtful, timeless, and deeply personal. I believe good design is not just about how a space looks, but how it makes people feel, live, and connect within it. My goal is to create spaces with warmth, character, and intention, balancing creativity with craftsmanship in every detail.”
About Haripriya
Haripriya co-founded Savistar in Gandhinagar in 2020 with Sachi, after both trained at CEPT University in Ahmedabad. She designs spaces, furniture and experiences, and makes sure what is designed is what gets built.
At SAAG she leads responsible sourcing, kiln drying and documented quality control for small-batch furniture making, so every piece holds up to the design it started from.
At Savistar she owns timelines and delivery with calm precision. Her low-waste cutting plans and supplier standards keep projects predictable while raising the standard of craft.
