Our background
IDEATE was founded in the mid 1990s, rooted in a shared ambition to tell stories through space. Their early work wasn't for museums but for municipalities. These were projects without collections, curators, or even buildings.
About us
We are an experienced and ambitious design studio specialized in creating captivating story-driven spatial experiences.
Based in India, our international team consists of designers, content developers, producers, and supportive staff. We are a purpose-driven team, committed to telling urgent and relevant stories—whether historical, scientific, social, or artistic—and transforming them into spaces that matter.
We make spatial stories
Spatial stories can make for a truly transformative experience. They inspire exploration, ignite wonder, and nurture critical thinking. In an increasingly complex and noisy world, it's an oasis of focus and nuance. They celebrate diversity, embracing individual human, or even non-human perspectives to tell universal stories that each of us can relate.
