About Us

At Duali, we believe that true beauty and meaning
emerge from the interplay of opposites.

Our name, Duali, is a direct reflection of our core philosophy: duality. It's the understanding that life, in all its richness, is a harmonious dance between contrasting elements. From the moment you hold a Duali piece, you'll experience this truth. We craft exquisite tableware that masterfully blends tradition with innovation, simplicity with complexity, and the tangible with the intangible.

Behind the brand

From marketing executive in the healthcare sector, to marine chemicals to media metrics, my professional life has been a delightful whirlwind of spreadsheets and strategy. But amidst the marine chemicals and digital dashboards, a quiet passion for ceramics was brewing.  

My journey into the world of ceramics began seven years ago, amidst the joyful chaos of designing my daughter's birth announcement plates.

It was a spark, a quiet whisper of creativity that stayed with me through these bustling years of marketing and overlooking digital media ventures, and the daily symphony of family life.

The desire to create was undeniable, but I knew I needed more than just beautiful objects; I needed a concept, a thread that would weave through every piece, resonating with human emotions.

That's when Duali was born. Juggling between different business verticals, and now, Duali, keeps life wonderfully chaotic. But as a wife and mother to my two kids Rishi and Neeva (who by the way are extreme opposites too), I've learned that balance isn't about perfect symmetry; it's about finding beauty in the beautiful mess. Whether I'm negotiating contracts or sketching new plate designs, I'm always looking for ways to infuse a little bit of magic into the ordinary.

P.S And if you catch me gazing intently at a plate, lost in thought, it's not absent-mindedness, it's a deep, philosophical debate with the ceramic itself. You'll understand when you hold a Duali piece.

“ Think of Duali as my love letter to the simple pleasures: a perfectly brewed cup of tea, a shared meal with loved ones, and the quiet satisfaction of holding a piece of art in your hands. Join me in celebrating the beauty of duality, one handcrafted piece at a time. ”
