Rive Roshan is the artistic practice of Ruben de la Rive Box (Netherlands, 1981) and Golnar Roshan (Australia, 1986). The two partners started their careers in several high-profile design studios, including Tom Dixon, Marcel Wanders and Tord Boontje. Working alongside some of the most prolific product and interior designers Rive Roshan formed their vision of a holistic approach towards design, bridging graphic, interior and product design disciplines and blurring the lines between design and art.
At the core of the studio’s development are the self-initiated research-based projects, exploring visual wonder as a means to beauty and the role of design in emotional well-being. Rive Roshan creates to connect with people intuitively. Through experimental processes, they design immersive spatial experiences, materials and objects that enrich lives. A deep interest in colour, texture and materiality leads to an aesthetic of raw beauty.
Rive Roshan’s work has been on show at Les Musée des Arts Decoratifs Paris, the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia’s Triennial, Tools Gallery Paris, Big Art Amsterdam, Powerhouse Museum Sydney, Shanghai Museum of Glass, a range of design exhibitions around the world including Milan Design Week, Maison & Objet, Istanbul Design Week, London Design Festival and Design Miami/ Basel and was in Dutch Design Week, 2022, with an immersive installation ‘Ordinary Miracles’.
Rive Roshan is represented exclusively in Australia & New Zealand by Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert for both their studio and commission practice.
