Shalini Misra
Luxury interior design studio
Felix&Friends have crafted legacy through design for Shalini Misra. When a celebrated interior designer reaches the pinnacle of their career, capturing decades of creative vision requires more than photography. It demands an on-brand narrative and tone of voice that understands luxury, captures the brand's cadence and descriptive dialogue.
Felix&Friends partnered with Shalini Misra, the multi-award-winning interior design studio, to create a coffee table book that would become the definitive chronicle of one of London's most distinguished practices in luxury residential and private Jet interiors.
Shalini Misra: Crafting Legacy Through Design
Felix&Friends develops brand strategy and editorial design for lifestyle, property and commercial sectors. For Shalini Misra, the multi-award-winning interior design studio with offices in London, New York, Dubai and Delhi, the brief was to translate two decades of creative vision into a coffee table book of indelible distinction.
When a celebrated interior designer reaches the pinnacle of their career, capturing that body of work requires more than photography. It demands a brand narrative that understands luxury, captures the studio's cadence and establishes descriptive dialogue worthy of the spaces themselves. Felix&Friends partnered with Shalini Misra to create the definitive chronicle of one of Britain's most distinguished practices in luxury residential and private jet interiors.
A Design Philosophy That Commands Reverence
Shalini Misra founded her eponymous studio with a philosophy that would reshape contemporary interior design: championing the individual over trends, creating spaces that respond to how clients truly live rather than prescriptive aesthetics. This approach has earned recognition from Architectural Digest, Elle Decoration and House & Garden, whilst establishing the practice as one of London's leading voices in bespoke luxury interiors.
Her work spans private residences across three continents. Each project serves as a meditation on materiality, light and the subtle choreography of domestic life. From townhouses in Mayfair to penthouses overlooking Central Park and contemporary residences in Mumbai, the portfolio demonstrates cultural fluency that few interior designers possess.
What distinguishes Shalini Misra's work, and what the coffee table book captures beautifully, is the studio's commitment to timeless luxury interiors that shape lifestyles. Her spaces reveal themselves slowly, rewarding sustained attention with layered details: bespoke joinery that appears effortless, lighting strategies that shift with natural rhythms, material palettes that reference location and context.
Translating Excellence into Tangible Legacy
The collaboration between Felix&Friends and Shalini Misra centred on transforming twenty years of design excellence into a legacy piece that would timelessly resonate with discerning audiences. The coffee table book needed to honour the studio's portfolio whilst revealing the creative intelligence behind each space.
Rather than a chronological showcase, Felix&Friends developed a narrative architecture that allowed each project to breathe within its own context. This editorial approach prioritised imagery whilst weaving place-making narratives throughout. Each location received careful consideration: the cultural weight of Mayfair, the architectural rhythm of New York's Upper East Side, the climate and social dynamics of Mumbai's luxury residential towers. This geographical storytelling provided essential context, allowing readers to understand how Shalini Misra's design philosophy adapts to diverse environments without losing its signature sophistication.
Editorial Design That Mirrors Interior Philosophy
The book's structure reflected the studio's methodology itself: deeply personal, refusing the formulaic. Some projects unfold across panoramic spreads capturing entire enfilades; others focus on intimate vignettes where texture, colour and object come together. This editorial freedom meant the design execution could mirror the interior design approach, each portfolio piece presenting itself according to its own logic rather than imposed templates.
What distinguishes Shalini Misra's work, and what the coffee table book captures with quiet authority, is the studio's commitment to timeless luxury interiors that shape lifestyles. Her spaces reveal themselves slowly, rewarding sustained attention with layered details: bespoke joinery that appears effortless, lighting strategies that shift with natural rhythms, material palettes that reference location and heritage.
Felix&Friends crafted brand narrative and copywriting that matched this sophistication. The tone honours the refined expectations of HNW and UHNW audiences who recognise quality without requiring explanation. Each written passage complements rather than competes with the imagery, establishing the cultural relevance of work that spans continents whilst maintaining cohesive creative vision.
