There is something almost alchemical about Studio Medium.
Founded by Riddhi Jain in New Delhi, the studio moves at the intersection of art, apparel, and material poetry — where textiles are not simply crafted, but engineered, layer by layer, colour by colour, gesture by gesture.
Riddhi’s world is built on exploration. Surfaces are folded, pleated, resisted, dyed, re-dyed, and reimagined until they hold their own language. Sarees become sculptural canvases. Garments behave like installations. Everyday objects slip into the realm of art. Nothing is accidental; everything is intentional.
What feels extraordinary is the sophistication beneath the experimentation.
Her pieces may look effortless, but each one is guided by the rigor of a designer trained at NID Ahmedabad and ENSCI Paris — someone who understands the architecture of textiles as deeply as she understands their emotion.
In collaboration with artisans around the studio in Delhi, and master craftsmen from Bengal and Gujarat, Studio Medium transforms heritage techniques into something wholly contemporary. Not revivalism, not nostalgia — but heritage rewritten with a new visual vocabulary: sharper, bolder, future-facing.
These are pieces designed to be lived with and looked at.
Engineered placements that create rhythm.
Textures that catch light in unexpected ways.
Colours that feel both ancient and avant-garde.
At Canvas & Weaves, we see Studio Medium as part of the new guard of Indian design — work that doesn’t just honour tradition, but extends it, stretches it, and propels it into tomorrow. These are garments that hold the energy of “future heritage,” waiting to be collected, worn, and eventually passed forward.
If you’re drawn to pieces that feel artful and quietly radical — Studio Medium is a world you’ll want to enter.
