Cheshta Kela

I'm currently a Masters student at the Royal College of Art

I’m passionate about exploring how interiors shape human emotions and experiences. My work blends design, psychology and philosophy to provoke thought and connection. Meticulous and reflective, I use speculative thinking and writing to communicate complex ideas.

As a designer, I believe my role is to encourage the design of interiors that prizes the understanding of space to create more accessible and transformational environments

This project investigates the identity of discovered objects, challenging perceptions of their past, present, and potential futures. It compels us to have a deeper understanding of artefacts in order to undertake a sort of surgery to bring them back to life, honouring their past while also identifying their best properties for future consumption. 

Windows provide insight into external world and introspection, staying safe and stepping out into uncertainty. This project attempts to initiate a conversation to provoke a record of the craftsmanship through technology – focus is on the reflection of the work rather than the body of work itself. It explored the idea of a threshold being submerged and interlinked rather than a distinct entity. A replica was created in order to converse and critque these ideas.

Through conversations and critical analysis, themes of transparency, memory, and transformation emerged. Reflection became a key concept—suggesting visual contact without physical interaction, preserving history while shaping a new identity. By constructing a replica, the project interrogates these ideas, using material interventions as a way to bridge past narratives with speculative futures.

Ideas of immortality, manifestation of repressed memories. Doppleganger.
