Kadari Art Gallery in Hyderabad is currently hosting Muse: The Making Room, a month-long exhibition by the Mumbai-based design studio MuseLAB. The show, on view from December 5 to December 30, 2025, offers an intimate look into the creative process of the studio founded by designers Huzefa Rangwala and Jasem Pirani.
The exhibition marks MuseLAB’s solo debut and reflects on the 20-year collaboration between the co-founders. Conceived as an exploration of the studio’s evolution from a two-person practice into a multidisciplinary design voice, Muse: The Making Room brings together the firm’s work across architecture, interiors, furniture, and product design.
Rather than functioning as a traditional retrospective, the exhibition invites visitors into the conceptual and experimental space where ideas evolve. Within the gallery, architectural models, sketches, and prototypes converse with completed projects and designed objects, revealing the iterative nature of the studio’s design approach.
“Muse: The Making Room is built from an instinct to revisit, reveal, and realign,” say the founders. Their display emphasizes curiosity, playfulness, and experimentation as core values that have guided MuseLAB since its inception in 2012. The duo’s parallel venture, MuseMART — founded in 2015 — also finds representation through product designs that blend functionality with storytelling.

Kadari Art Gallery founder Supraja Rao notes that the exhibition aligns with the gallery’s vision to highlight the creative connections between art and architecture. The presentation also underscores the ongoing partnership and shared creative philosophy that define MuseLAB’s practice.
Muse: The Making Room is open to the public from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday, at Kadari Art Gallery, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad.
