OUR STORY
“Art is a tryst, for in the joy of it, maker and beholder meet.” The abode of art or Nivas came up just for this to happen. In 2005, Nivas Inc., was visualized by Vinutha Venkat and Preethi Machani. The vision was to make every living space a piece of art and a site of beauty. Indian philosophy believes in “Vasudaiva Kutumbakam” or “The World as One”. Nivas hopes to bridge the divide between East and West, with east Indian artifacts adorning western living spaces.
