Among the profuse of home décor start-ups, Studio Scrap Up is one such company that was established by Garima Pal & Surbhi Chawla, two enthusiastic up-cyclers who aimed to bring innovation and difference in the domain.

The idea took shape when one of the founders was renovating her home. She observed that it was not practical to discard the existing furniture and realized that up-cycling them would still give the preferred modern look. Garima and Surbhi experimented on the heap of furniture at her place. To their surprise, the outcome was something extraordinary and loved by everyone around them. With this train of thought and the zest to do something innovative, they came up with the idea of up-cycling furniture and making home décors from old materials.

The company serves in three categories such as Interior, Furniture & Architecture. It offers interiors and architectural services under the name Design Studio 20Four; whereas renovation, furniture and products are part of Studio Scrap Up.

We up-cycle and frame brand new products to create dynamic and meaningful environments that engage and energize," says Garima.

The Journey
Beginning its journey as home décor and renovation startup in 2017, the company upcycled 100+ furniture and the first batch of products was sold out in 3 months. It has also completed 30+ renovation projects. At present, it is customizing their unique offerings. "With one architect and an urban planner as the founders, it was a struggle to get into this existing builder-oriented market and make a mark with our style of designing. The numbers of interior designing projects were increasing and we realized the need to open another vertical purely for interior and architecture-related projects," she informs.



As an innovative startup, it is dependent on craftsmanship and the hand-work of designers, carpenters, and artisans.
