The Rikan Legacy: From Humble Beginnings to Global Hospitality Icons
Our History
Redefining Craftsmanship Since 1992
Crafting Elegance, Mile by Mile
In the heart of Mumbai in 1992, a father and son began their journey—not in a studio, but on two wheels. Delivering handmade table mats and custom menus to local restaurants, they laid the foundation for what would become one of the most respected names in luxury hospitality: Rikan.
What started as a family dream soon blossomed into an international design studio and manufacturing house. From their first venture in Dubai to launching a modest in-house production facility, Rikan has grown into a global presence. Today, with over 300 dedicated artisans and professionals, the company services the world’s leading hotels and private residences with signature pieces that speak to tradition, elegance, and innovation.
“Each stitch, each cut, embodies over 30 years of dedication to luxury and excellence in the hospitality industry.”
A Story of Global Reach and Local Touch
From its first major hotel project in 2001, Rikan’s vision has expanded across continents. Whether in the refined elegance of Paris, the vibrant modernity of Dubai, or the innovative hubs of North America, Rikan’s presence is felt wherever hospitality meets heritage.
With clients spanning five-star hotels, private yachts, and boutique residences, Rikan has become synonymous with luxury design that is both meaningful and memorable. The company’s global footprint includes collaborations across Europe, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa—where its affiliate, Mzuzi Africa Ltd, helps extend the brand’s signature charm. Through Rikan Homes, the brand is now bringing its exclusive offerings into the world of luxury retail.

Giving Back, Creating Change
Rikan believes that true luxury uplifts others. Their ongoing social initiatives include:
