Ananth Ramaswamy is a London and Bangalore based architect and interior designer and the founder of Arall, an interior design practice working across residential, hospitality and cultural projects. Trained at the Architectural Association in London, his approach combines a strong understanding of architecture with an interest in furniture, decorative arts and the relationship between objects and the spaces they inhabit.

Named a House & Garden Rising Star and one of Homes & Gardens’ Next in Design talents in 2025, Ananth’s work draws on his experience across India and the UK, bringing together different periods, materials and cultural influences.

Ananth comments “My own taste is constantly evolving. There are things I loved five years ago that I probably wouldn’t buy today, and equally, I’ve become interested in furniture and decorative objects that I might previously have overlooked.

"I don’t think everything in a room needs to belong to the same period or even have a particularly obvious relationship to everything else. I often find interiors more interesting when there’s some tension between objects. An English Georgian piece might sit very happily alongside something Indian, French or contemporary.

"Antiques also offer something that new furniture can struggle to replicate. Beyond the quality of materials and craftsmanship, there’s the evidence of age, use and repair. I don’t necessarily want everything to be immaculate. A little wear can be beautiful.”
