About Us
Essere Designs, formerly known as Alron Urban Art Pvt. Ltd was established by Managing Director, Ajay Kanuga in 1995. Starting with interiors of residences the company has since progressed to doing large scale commercial projects. The team at Essere Designs believes designing a space is not about the designers but about the needs of the client and incorporating the functionality of design in their daily lives. Every client has their own perspective of design and décor, as designers our goal is to incorporate these ideas in our design by providing stimulating images of the final product adding colors, texture and providing spaces that would otherwise not be thought of. Interior Design is about painting on a blank canvas, the finished product of which is a reflection of the client’s persona, be it residential, offices, restaurant or bars…
