We’re in the FT 😍 Featured in Cult Shop by @fthtsi and @financialtimes. A big thank you to @bayasimons and @ines_cross for telling our story ❤️🙏🏼

“‘We met in Bengaluru last year through a mutual friend. You could call it love at first sight,’ says product buyer Malini Malik (@malinimalik) of her first encounter with Spandana Gopal, founder of design studio Tiipoi (@tiipoi). Within 10 minutes, the pair had bonded over their love of minimalist interiors and functional design, and the idea to start a business together was born. Four months later, in August 2024, they opened General Items (@generalitems.in), a shop and “occasional” gallery in Bengaluru’s bustling Ulsoor.”

We were thrilled to be brought on board by @dishoom as producers for their very own line of tea towels! We screen-printed 3000 metres of fabric by hand with our partner factory in Tamil Nadu.

Made by a women-owned & run production team, these towels are now on their way to the UK and will soon be available at a Dishoom near you 🇬🇧✨ by @tiipoi

"We’re not interested in responding to things like the Pantone Color of the Year. It just doesn’t feel relevant to the work we want to do.

The things we make come out of a process that’s very much rooted in a Tiipoi world — a kind of Tiipoi-ness. You start to recognise it instinctively. You can look at an object and feel that it belongs to Tiipoi, even if you can’t immediately explain why. That sixth sense really emerges from process.

Every design goes through what we call the Tiipoi test, which helps ensure that decisions aren’t driven by ego — mine or anyone else’s — or by something arbitrary like “let’s paint it this colour.” It’s a way of checking that the work is coming from the right place. That’s what protects us and preserves the brand." — Spandana Gopal, founder of @tiipoi, in conversation with @toothsome_magazine ✨ 

You can read the full interview in Issue 02 of the mag.

It won't keep your cactus alive, but it will make it look incredibly good. A @tiipoi creation, the Siment Water Tower planter does what Tiipoi does best: takes big architectural ideas and makes them possible to bring home.

“We often hear customers say, ‘My grandmother used to make this,’ or, ‘I’ve been looking for this everywhere,’ or, ‘I can’t wait to try this,’” says Malini (@malinimalik).

We have loved bringing beautiful tools and kitchenware into your homes. For a long time, we’ve also dreamed of working with small brands and producers within India. It is so special to now bring this vision to life with the new pantry cabinet at @generalitems.in, where we get to showcase our absolute favourite local condiments, spices, teas, sweets and more.

A huge thank you to @livingetcind for featuring our newest, much-loved pantry section 🍫🧃🍭🥫 by @tiipoi
