Founded by Farah Agarwal, Chestnut Storeys emphasizes collaboration through dialogue and design workshops, translating personal narratives into tactile, lived experiences. The team focuses on timeless materials, textures, and details, working with local and international artisans to craft warm, intentional, one-of-a-kind spaces.
