Brahman Perera approaches interior design as a pursuit in experiential beauty. He applies his own lens through years of experience to compose natural textures, rich colour pairings and sculptural gestures, producing balanced and compelling interiors layered with personal touches. His pledge to personal expression is evident in his experimental lighting and textile designs, imbuing his projects with unique character, sentiment and authenticity. Empathic by nature, Brahman connects with his clients’ identities and harnesses design as an act of storytelling.
