A studio handed down
Two generations, one workshop, and more than 35 years of classical ornament made by hand in Lahore.
Studio Royal Arts is an art fabrication studio in Lahore, known for classical architectural ornament and sculpture for homes, buildings and gardens.
Over more than 35 years we have delivered thousands of residential and commercial projects, from refined interiors to signature garden landscapes.
We work for a discerning clientele, turning creative visions into finished pieces, and bring the same care to every space we touch.

A sculptor's training

First major commissions
Major private and corporate commissions begin, the start of a client list that has grown for almost four decades.

The Dream Garden
Shahid Hussain draws a utopian garden of colonnades, domes and fountains, a vision the studio has been building towards ever since.

Into fashion
A first piece for a fashion house opens years of work for boutiques, later including Sana Safinaz and Stylo.

A national commission
Shahid Hussain models the portrait relief for the commemorative coin of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto.
Today
Lahore, and beyond

From the archive
Prints from the studio’s early years: the workshop at work, and pieces made long before phones had cameras.
