Step into a world of curated elegance and refined artistry as Rare Lily unveiled its exclusive boutique in October 2024, in the heart of Chennai at RA Puram. This unique furniture and interior design destination, founded by sibling duo Aarthi Nahar and Adarsh Chuttar, promises a one-of-a-kind shopping experience where every piece tells a story.
Bring the World Home - Rare Lily embodies the essence of luxury with its hand-picked collection of furniture, decor, and art sourced from the finest craftsmen around the world. “I have always wanted to offer unique, quality pieces to my clients in Chennai,” says Aarthi Nahar, a seasoned interior designer with over 12 years of experience and the founder of AN Studio. “Rare Lily was born from my passion for design and the desire to bring in something exquisite in to the market. Our boutique showcases exquisite furniture, century-old artefacts, vintage decor, and timeless art that breathe life and history into every corner of a home.”
With a background rooted in interior design and entrepreneurship, Aarthi Nahar and Adarsh Chuttar bring a wealth of experience and vision to Rare Lily. Aarthi, the CEO and principal designer, honed her craft through years of working with renowned architects and leading her own interior design firm, AN Studio. Her journey in the furniture and design industry spans over a decade, beginning with her early days as an intern and evolving into a passionate pursuit of creating timeless interiors. Adarsh, the Chief Operating Officer, is an entrepreneur with a background in his family business. The sibling duo has combined their unique expertise to create a boutique that beautifully showcases their passion for design and offers exquisite, curated home decor for discerning tastes.
Set within a sprawling bungalow, Rare Lily offers more than just furniture—it provides an immersive experience where each room has been transformed to showcase its curated collections in real-life settings. Customers can envision these stunning pieces in their own homes while benefiting from personalised guidance from Nahar herself. “We aim to create a trusted environment where customers can explore exquisite products and enjoy an intimate design consultation.”
Rare Lily offers a vast range of indoor and outdoor furniture, antiques, home decor, lighting, rugs, and more. Almost all pieces are limited edition, with vintage artefacts and paintings created using rare techniques. The boutique collaborates with leading brands and designers such as The Artemist for art consultancy, Loops by Lathika for custom designer rugs, and Luxure Furnishings for premium upholstery and curtains, ensuring a tailored shopping experience.
Rare Lily’s founders have big plans. Within the next 5 to 10 years, they aim to expand the brand across South India and establish a signature manufacturing unit for custom-designed furniture. Their vision is to become a household name and a top destination for architects, designers, and discerning clients who appreciate the finer things in life.
“We are proud to offer an unparalleled selection of sophisticated, timeless pieces that will elevate homes and spaces across Chennai,” says Nahar. “At Rare Lily, luxury is not just an accessory, it’s a lifestyle.”
