MOD Studio Interiors: Bhupinder Matharu MOD Studio Interiors is a leading luxury interior design company in Dubai & the Middle East. Founded by award-winning interior architect Robert Elliott and Senior Interior Designer Bhupinder Matharu in 2014. APID spoke with Bhupinder Matharu, one of the co-founders of the company to talk design, start-up businesses and making it big in Dubai! My passion keeps growing and so does my motivation, along with my creativity and after I started designing my own personal and my friend’s residential spaces, I am proud to start my career as Professional Interior Designer/Co- founder/Partner of MOD Studio. I have always had an interest in renovating and organizing apartments. I found myself doing my own personal spaces (houses) in different countries and it grew from there. Interior Design is far from my career within the PRO industry, but then again with a little creativity, I can combine these industries and become a residential Interior Designer. READ MORE... |
