Behind Project Otenga’s slow design principles & mindful living lies an experimental design studio

Full of heartful & hyper-energetic thinkers.

Dedicated to nurturing multidisciplinary collaboration and creating mindful ecosystems.​

Their design approach blends slow design philosophies with creative thinking to cultivate sustainable and progressive cultures.

Based out of their concept café at Shaheedi Park, New Delhi, the studio works with food as a potent medium, exploring sensory branding strategies to craft holistic, embodied design and research outcomes.
