Studio Motionworks — Ahmedabad, India
THE ARCHITECTS
OF MOTION.

A multidisciplinary kinetic art studio. We take the imagination of an artist and translate it into movement — sculpture that turns, walls that breathe, spaces that shift with light and time.

Anuj Anjaria

Founder & Principal Artist

Anuj Anjaria is the founder of Studio Motionworks, where he leads a multidisciplinary practice that translates artistic imagination into physical movement.

He holds a Bachelor's in Interior Design from CEPT University, Ahmedabad. Alongside his work as a kinetic artist, Anuj is a musician — he plays the Santoor, the hammered dulcimer whose hundred strings are struck with small wooden mallets. It is a practice of precision, resonance, and invisible force producing visible movement — a philosophy that runs straight through his kinetic work.

Anuj has introduced Space Kinematics as a distinct field of study and teaches it as Visiting Faculty at CEPT University, where a new generation of designers learns to think about movement as a fundamental property of space.

Anuj Anjaria plays the Santoor — the hammered dulcimer whose hundred strings are struck with two small wooden mallets. It is a practice of precision, resonance, and invisible force producing visible movement. It is the same principle that governs every kinetic work that leaves the studio.

The Journey

From a drawing board to an airport terminal.

01CEPT University

The Drawing Board

Anuj Anjaria completes his Bachelor's in Interior Design at CEPT University, Ahmedabad — where the question of how people move through space first meets the question of how space itself might move.

02Motionworks Founded

The Studio Is Founded

Studio Motionworks takes shape in Ahmedabad as a multidisciplinary art practice — one part design studio, one part fabrication workshop, one part research laboratory for the study of movement.

03T2 International Airport

Scale Arrives

Commissioned works at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport — the White Peacock and the Wood in Wood Kinetic Wall — push the practice into architectural scale, where a single piece must speak to thousands of travelers every day.

04Visiting Faculty

Space Kinematics

Anuj introduces Space Kinematics as a formal field of study and begins teaching it as Visiting Faculty at CEPT University — codifying the studio's lived practice into a discipline that can be taught, tested, and passed on.

05Now

The Work Keeps Moving

Public art, museum installations, and private commissions across India — the JP Narayan Museum in Lucknow, Sadbhav Engineering, and beyond. The studio's work continues to expand where movement meets architecture, memory, and place.

Selected Clients

Work that moves in public space.

From international airport terminals to museum halls and corporate campuses — pieces that must live, daily, with the public.

Kinetic Installation

White Peacock

Mumbai T2 International AirportMumbai, India

A suspended kinetic sculpture inspired by the unfolding plumage of the peacock — a national symbol rendered in motion.

Kinetic Wall

Wood in Wood Kinetic Wall

Mumbai T2 International AirportMumbai, India

A monumental kinetic wall where wooden elements slide, rotate, and rearrange — a warm, organic counterpoint to the terminal's steel.

Museum Installation

Intersecting Thoughts

JP Narayan MuseumLucknow, India

A kinetic meditation on civic thought and dialogue — intersecting paths of motion that echo a museum of ideas.

Public Art

Effulgence

Shree Shakti GreensAhmedabad, India

A radiant kinetic work celebrating light and movement — a landmark piece rooted in the studio's home city.

Corporate Commission

Spine 34

Sadbhav EngineeringAhmedabad, India

A structural, spine-like kinetic form — commissioned work that brings the language of movement into the workplace.

Continuing

And more, in motion

Public art, museum installations, and private commissions across India — with new work always in development.

Our Philosophy
We don’t just design objects.
We translate imagination into movement.
Studio Motionworks
How We Work

Four principles that shape every commission.

01

Imagination → Movement

Every commission begins as an artist's vision. Our work is to translate it — faithfully and surprisingly — into a physical vocabulary of motion, balance, and time.

02

Multidisciplinary by Default

We work across sculpture, design, fabrication, engineering, and music. The best kinetic ideas rarely arrive from a single discipline.

03

Built to Endure

Public kinetic art must live outdoors, in airports, in museums, in the weather. We design for decades of daily motion, not a gallery opening.

04

Space Is a Material

We treat the space around an object — the air it moves through, the shadows it casts, the paths it invites — as part of the work itself.
