It’s inevitable that sometimes you need an escape, to dream of a far off place.  Remember those stories of magic carpet rides as a kid? Where you could let your imagination go…

Looking at the work of designer, Rajiv Saini, evokes the imagination of that far off exotic land.  I first came across his work in Interior Design magazine and was intrigued by a hotel project he had just completed, Devigarh Udaipur. His work greatly reflects his background, with intricate detail mixed with sparse furnishings.

Here are some images from the Devigarh Udaipur Hotel (an 18th century palace) located in Rajasthan, India.

His firm handles both commercial and residential interior design projects, and many details in his residential projects are awe-inspiring.
