Rathin Goghari is an Architect and he is the designer of Algaari range. www.rgadesign.space Born and brought up in Mumbai, Rathin settled in Ahmedabad around 1980. After getting a bachelor’s degree in physics, he shifted to architecture and graduated with a degree in Architecture from the prestigious CEPT University in Ahmedabad. His undergraduate Thesis document, “The Role of the Un-built Spaces in clustered Organisations - A study of Indian Palace Complexes”, was written under the guidance of Architect P S Rajan in 1989-90. It was published as a book by the Vastu-Shilp Foundation and CEPT in 1990. After working at Stien Doshi and Bhalla for three years, he established his own firm, RATHIN GOGHARI ARCHITECTS in Ahmedabad in the year 1993 – a design consultancy studio including both architectural and Interior design projects. He has designed Schools, Office Buildings, Industrial buildings, Clinics, Private Residences, farm houses. He has also done Interior Design for same buildings and many other. He has been involved with furniture design along with the Interiors. He teaches design at CEPT University, in both the School of Architecture and School of Interior Design as a visiting faculty, since 2000. His wife Falguni is also an Architect, closely involved with the firm. Falguni also runs a wooden toy company called Woodtoys, since 1998, within the same premises. In fact, it was from the Woodtoys workshop that Falguni and Rathin got involved in furniture design and so the idea for Algaari evolved in 2014 and has now emerged as a separate entity.
