Hi, I’m Dhriti.
This is Root & Still.

I’m from Kolkata, India, and I moved to the UK in 2024. Root & Still grew from a love of craft and a wish for everyday life to feel a little calmer.

The places that stay with us, shape what we bring home.

Root and still.
Both belong.

Kolkata

Kolkata is where I’m from. Its art, conversations and restless energy shaped the way I see the world. Growing up in that beautiful chaos also gave me a deep appreciation for stillness.

The Eastern Himalayas

In Sikkim and Darjeeling, the cold air and mountain views brought me back to the present. That feeling stayed with me, first in Kolkata and now here in the UK.

Presence matters more than pace.

A different way
to feel at home.

I spent years working in marketing, building businesses and chasing the next milestone. Somewhere along the way, I noticed a gap between the way I worked and the way I wanted to live.

Root & Still came from that gap. I wanted to bring together pieces with character, texture and a sense of calm. Objects that feel at home in the rooms we actually live in.

Three places. Many hands.

Where our pieces
come from.

Our collection brings together pieces from India, Nepal and Indonesia. Different materials and traditions, connected by what we look for: character, thoughtful details and a place in everyday life.

Brass & decorative details

Brass figures and decorative details bring warmth and weight to a room. We’re drawn to their sculptural forms, worked surfaces and the way they catch natural light.

Singing bowls & sound

Sound can change how a room feels. Our Nepalese singing bowls invite a simple pause: a clear note, a quieter moment, and a little space between one thing and the next.

Carved wood & parasols

From wooden figures for indoors to Balinese parasols for the garden, these pieces bring texture and character to their setting. We choose details that feel considered and easy to live with.

The work behind
the stillness.

There’s more to a piece than its finished shape. This short film offers a closer look at the hands, tools and small details involved in carving.

One corner. One room.
A little more stillness.

If a piece can bring even a little of that feeling to your home, then it’s doing exactly what I hoped it would.
