211 Studio is an illustration and design studio in New Delhi started by Ayeshe Sadr and Ishaan Dasgupta.
"We basically do a lot of illustration-based work," says Ishaan. "We love doing children's books as they allow for a lot of fun, visually, and also because we love the power of stories. Also, since our approach to work is so informal and playful, children's books seem like a natural outlet. Apart from that we really love illustrating for just about anything, from quirky wedding cards, to posters, invites, packaging, and even some branding."
About their workspace
"We love doing things by hand, and try to keep the computer work to the necessary minimum," adds Ishaan. "We enjoy the errors, textures, and rawness that hand-work can create, which is pretty hard to replicate on the computer." The duo works out of a messy, small studio amidst a beautiful green Mehrauli forest.
