WHY WE'RE OBSESSED

At KALA, we believe art isn’t just something you hang or place — it’s something you live with. Rooted in Calicut, Kerala, KALA Art + Objects is an interdisciplinary design studio and concept brand that creates custom art, decor, lighting, rugs, carpets, furniture, and earth-forward terracotta pieces. Every product is a seamless blend of craftsmanship, material honesty, and thoughtful design — made to adapt, transform, and belong.

Our studio walks the line between object and emotion — between tactile materiality and the soul of a space. Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rug, a sculptural lamp, or a terracotta installation, each piece is a response to a mood, a memory, or a moment.

Where Every Piece Begins with a Mood.

KALA was started with a simple but powerful idea — that every object you live with should speak to you. Our work is not just about designing things; it’s about creating a world. A feeling. A moment you can carry home.

Each piece is an invitation to slow down, touch, feel, and connect. Our design process begins by imagining a mood — often rooted in culture, history, or the raw beauty of nature — and ends with tangible, functional art.

At KALA, we honour the imperfections of the handmade, the elegance of raw materials, and the quiet stories embedded in every curve and texture. To us, this is more than décor — it’s a way of life.

Built from passion, woven with purpose — get to know the hands and heart behind KALA

Architect by profession. Aesthetic by instinct. Founder of KALA.

With a background in architecture and having previously dabbled in sensory kits for kids, a lifelong love for beautiful spaces and things remained in the horizon. Rifa Abdulla launched KALA to bring warmth, soul, and craftsmanship into everyday homes. What began as a side passion for textiles and thoughtful design quickly grew into a brand that blends function with feeling.

At KALA, Rifa brings her eye for detail and deep respect for artisan work into every piece — helping you style spaces that tell your story, beautifully.

“I wanted to create pieces that feel like coming home — honest, handmade, and full of soul.”
— Rifa Abdulla
