About Us

Behind the name – “Kando” in the Persian language means a honeycomb structure which are made of hexagons –  the strongest shape known!

Hexagonal shape are prevalent in honeycombs because it is the most efficient way to fill a space using the least amount of material. The shape allows to construct honeycombs with minimal wax while providing exceptional strength under compression. Therefore, if you need something to bear a lot of weight, we highly recommend choosing hexagon!

In 2020, I, Fariba Soltani, brought Kando Interiors and Architectural Design Studio in London to life to craft designs that are both considered and thoughtful. Moreover, our studio serves as a platform for exploring various curiosities and connecting spaces, stories, and cultures through design and collaborations.

We firmly believe in putting you at the centre of our design approach. Thus, we begin each project by establishing a strong connection and understanding of you, the user, who will eventually interact with the design.

We evaluate the space, design elements, colours, and objects in relation to their purpose and function. Our goal is to challenge conventional concepts and aesthetics by actively seeking out new and unexplored perspectives. Consequently, we do not adhere to a particular style; rather, our design emerges from the concepts we develop collaboratively with you, based on your goals and ambitions.

Before founding Kando Studio, I gained valuable design experience at Foster and Partners, where I worked on large-scale resort projects, high-rise towers, and mixed-use buildings. Notably, some of my projects include Serrenia, a luxury lifestyle development in Egypt, Kenny Heights in Malaysia, and New Holland Island in Russia.

Kando Interior Design Studio, located in West London, specialises in residential and retail projects throughout the city and its surrounding areas. We actively seek collaborations that leverage our strengths, ensuring alignment between you, our clients, and us, the designers, for optimal results.
