Camilla
Cofounder · TechnicalI lead the technical side of every project: the layouts, technical drawings and specification, and the detail that has to be resolved before anything is built.
The studio
Two sisters, one standard
We are Camilla and Lydia, sisters and cofounders of Darsah, and we are both part of every project, from the first conversation to the final reveal.

Why Darsah
Our work closes the gap between a beautiful design and the room that gets built.

Too often a considered scheme is watered down on its way to site. A finish is swapped, a detail is simplified, a decision is made by someone who never saw the drawing. The result is a room that looks close to the design, but never feels like it.
That is why we see every project through ourselves. We design it, draw it, specify it and deliver it with our own team and trusted makers, so what you are shown on paper is exactly what you live in. Our studio has grown by recommendation, from private homes to developments and commercial spaces across the UK.
What we believe
- Drawn
Resolved before it is built.
Every decision is drawn and specified before work begins, so nothing is left to interpretation on site.
- Delivered
Designed and delivered by us.
Design, specification and delivery all sit with our studio. You have a single point of contact, and a single result to hold us to.
- Personal
Considered, never generic.
No house style and no shortcuts. Each scheme starts with how you live, and every material is chosen to last.
Premadasa
The name
Darsah comes from our family name, Premadasa. We took the dasa, softened it and made it our own. It is pronounced Dar sah.
Cofounders
The people you will work with.

Lydia
Cofounder · FF&EI lead FF&E: the furniture, lighting, fabrics and finishes, sourced through our suppliers and makers, then installed and styled for the final reveal.
Together we shape every scheme, and we both stay with each project from the first visit to the day it is finished.
The wider studio
Expertise gathered over every project.
Technical team
Technical designers who turn a concept into drawings, specifications and costs a contractor can build from, without guesswork.
Makers and craftspeople
Joiners, upholsterers, stonemasons, metalworkers and decorators we have worked with for years, chosen for the quality of their finish.
Suppliers
Long standing relationships with fabric houses, furniture makers and lighting specialists, which means trade access, honest lead times and fewer surprises.
