Finished bone-inlaid boxes and vessels arranged overhead on a wood table

Farrago means a mixture.

The name reflects a design practice bringing together materials, techniques and influences without restricting the work to a single visual language.

FOUNDER

Reeta Gyamlani

Founded by Reeta Gyamlani in 2003, Farrago is a New York design studio working with specialist workshops in Brazil, Brooklyn and beyond. Reeta came to New York from Mumbai to study at Pratt where she met Arthur, her landlord who supported her early interest in working with the crafts. Born in India and long rooted in New York, Reeta brings her knowledge of traditional workmanship together with influences from furniture, architecture and interiors to Farrago.
