We are an independent practice of architects, graphic designers and signage specialists who design the physical world of your brand — wayfinding systems, environmental graphics, retail flagships and live activations.
Five overlapping disciplines, one studio. Most projects sit across two or three — a wayfinding system that needs a flagship moment; a retail environment that lives or dies on its sign family. We work end-to-end, from the first audit walk to installation supervision.

Recent projects.
A young studio with a small, deliberate output. Four named engagements since we opened in 2024 — healthcare wayfinding, heritage retail, an artist's atelier and a photography collective — most still in active phases.
ASHMAN
Our belief
The best brands don't just look good — they feel like somewhere.
Two years ago Akash Manna set out to do one thing well — design the physical environments that carry a brand once a visitor arrives. Sometimes that's a sign. Sometimes it's a hospital. Sometimes it's the difference between getting lost and feeling looked after. We work with brands and institutions that understand space is not the wrapping; it's the experience.

Two cities, one practice.
Two studios across two countries. New Delhi is the head office — strategy, wayfinding and most of the design work. Dubai handles Gulf clients.
