Doshi Levien is a London-based design studio founded in 2000 by Nipa Doshi (b. 1971) and Jonathan Levien (b. 1972). Doshi grew up in India and studied at the National Institute of Design, while Jonathan, who is from Scotland, trained in fine woodworking followed by industrial design. They met while studying at the Royal College of Art. They have built a strong reputation for creating design that is technically advanced and imbued with cultural resonance. They have been internationally acclaimed for their work and, in 2008, were awarded the prestigious Future Legends of Design by the Cooper Hewitt National Museum of Design in New York. Together, they bring a complementary set of skills to the projects they work on. Doshi is primarily concerned with visual culture, an aesthetic understanding of the world, and the materiality of things, while Levien focuses more on industrial precision and technique. They have worked on projects for leading companies and institutions across furniture, fashion, homewares, technology, and lighting. For HAY, they created the Uchiwa Lounge Chair and Dapper.
