Nata Janberidze, born in Tbilisi, Georgia, studied Interior Design at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts from 1997 to 2003. In 2007, she co-founded Rooms Studio with Keti Toloraia, establishing the first female-run design studio in Tbilisi. Their collaboration has led to the creation of distinctive spaces and collectible design pieces, characterized by strong graphic elements and a deep appreciation for storytelling.

Janberidze’s personal living space reflects her taste and appreciation for both historical and contemporary design. Residing in a 1930s brick house featuring traditional sash windows, she has curated an interior that harmoniously blends designs from different eras and inspirations. As you enter her home, a skylight bathes the space in warmth and light, leading to a Jean Prouvé facade panel and an artwork by Georgian painter Koka Ignatov. A vintage daybed from a Paris flea market complements bespoke veneer wood shelves, which house her library and add a touch of classic elegance.

Her home is a continuous work in progress, evolving with her moods and discoveries. The interplay between antique and modern design is evident throughout—Le Corbusier’s architectural influence weaves through the space, while contemporary pieces from Rooms Studio, including a coffee table and chair, ground the home in her own creative vision. Art plays a central role, with works by Georgian photographer David Meskhi and artist Max Machaidze, whose painted plywood pieces add sculptural depth. 

A commissioned kitchen, designed specifically for this space, anchors daily life. A wooden dinning table sits alongside Philippe Starck chairs and beneath an EJR Barnes chandelier, while the walls feature art by Tbilisi-based artist Tornike Chapodze, as well as a soap grapes found in Paris, seamlessly integrating functional design with artistic expression. A black-and-white photograph by Greek photographer George Tourkovasilis also finds its place delicately displayed next to ceramics and books.

Her living room is an open space that features a silver street bench designed by Rooms Studio, paired with a felt tapestry by Mariana Chkonia. A 1930s sofa by Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret purchased in Belgium, sits beside a working fireplace, creating a sense of balance while maintaining an organic atmosphere.

Janberidze’s passion for collecting extends beyond furniture and art to rare books, archaeological artifacts, and natural elements like stones gathered over the years. Her library includes English and Georgian literature, and private editions passed down through her family, alongside volumes on art and design. The house is further shaped by objects sourced during her travels—finds that bridge distant cultures and time periods, reflecting her global perspective. 

Living with her three daughters and her dog, Nata Janberidze cultivates a home that is not only a reflection of her aesthetic but also a deeply personal, ever-evolving composition of her experiences.
