Tarafdar Studio

This is the best and one of its kind private workspace & design studio in the Heart of Cardiff. It has a very professional feel and good Ergonomics around the studio from the Herman Miller chair and Vitsœ shelving system just to mention a few. My favourite thing about the studio is all the hip hop references and books around the space, it gives you an insight on what Ibby is all about.

Tarafdar Studio is a well figured out space, surrounded by great functional design. Encompassed by a vast range of objects that serve their purpose as well as tell a story.It’s a space that encapsulates everything that Ibby is as a designer/creative & his love for design. A space that will leave you assured as a client & inspired as a creative.

I’ve work with Tarafdar Studios on several branding and design projects and the results always exceed my expectations. If you are seeking quality designs that elevate your vision then I highly recommend this business. I live in New York City and still prefer to work with them in London because of their creative approach to the design process and how they walk you through it every step of the way. It’s been truly magical to collaborate across borders and feel at ease knowing that the work will speak for itself. Ultimately, their precision and ability to think outside the box is what attracted me to them over others.

I visited the studio recently to discover where such a design and unique caliber of business is executed. And the space reflects this entirely after a personal tour I quickly discovered how everything in the studio is placed and designed in such a way to maximise efficiency, meaning and definition. Every piece has a worthy story as well as feeling so tranquil and a calm space to work, being designed in such a way to be transformable to whatever needs fit and simply fold away and reform into the beautiful minimalist space that it is. I can’t wait to return and see what else Tarafdar has collated!

Fantastic space, makes you feel at ease, even when you are discussing work. Every element of it, every piece of the furniture is there for a reason. It is a little, but multifunctional design studio, which can be turned to a cameral event venue (a screening, a guest talk or perhaps a group meeting). Even books are curated to convey a message, a message of internal growth and transformation. The physical space is amazing, but the Tarafdar Studio is much more than that. It has no limits to what can be achieved in design (and it's growing portfolio is a proof of that).

Delicious food isn't enough. In today's ever-present and competitive food industry a takeout needs to be equipped with a different kind of attention. This is when branding comes in. Our vision was to change the archaic south Asian industry with a modern, refreshing and reinvented look but needed branding to match it. The best designers are rare to find in this small, but growing City. Thankfully, we found Ibby, a raw talent emerging to take the design space by storm, who understood our not-every-other-asian-food-place" project. The things that struck is his attention to detail

Ibby gave us a thorough and thoughtful introduction to the way he works and methodically got us to express our brand purpose and values. He then researched our market place and gave considerable thought to what might be appropriate branding. He kept in touch with us during this process and then we had a meeting where he proposed and explained his thinking behind a range of alternatives. We discussed these together and chose a shortlist for Ibby to work up into designs. At a subsequent meeting we chose our favourite and that was worked up into a very professional and detailed branding package for us to use. We are delighted with the branding - logo and colours - but interestingly, the final design wasn't the sort of design that we originally thought we wanted. The final design was far better!

Ibby is style personified.His design is natural and simple, taking a range of requirements that appear complex and unrelated Ibby finds the correlation to an instantly recognisable identity.The design comes from mixing his ideas and experiences to the concepts and work of the client creating a strong relationship and bond during the process.I've had the pleasure to be at the unveiling of clients brands and the response is emotional and inspiring.If you're looking to find your identity, you can be safe in knowing that Ibby has got you covered.

Ibby is the best graphic designer I have worked with. I was very pleased with his design of my logo which exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Ibby to anyone given his talent, professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to invest time with you in order to make the project successful.

I've been working with Ibby for a number of years now on numerous projects. The versatility, attention to detail, and modern designs sets him out from a number of designers in Cardiff and even the UK. He's completed projects on time and has a vast knowledge in all aspects of design.
