Our House, Your Home

Come as you are.

OXŌM HOUSE is a home. Warm, considered, full of art and intention. The kind of place where the work is beautiful enough to live in a gallery and the welcome is warm enough that you actually want to stay. You will walk in as you are and leave with something that is entirely yours.

We are artists first. We listen until we understand who you are, and then we build something that carries your story in every detail. Bespoke means personal. Premium means you feel the care in everything we do. We are here because we love this work, and we want you to feel that from the moment you say hello.

Whatever your moment calls for, the answer is yes. One conversation. One vision. One result that has never existed before. Authored once, for you, and no one else.

Work With the House

The Mark · Mehndi

Who We Are

They were not hired
for that wedding.

Anand and Zuha were not hired for that wedding. He was the groom's brother. She was the bride's closest friend.

What they inherited was a DIY multi-day event, a ceremonial structure that needed to be built from scratch, a hundred guests, a rental clock running, and no sleep. They had never worked together. They had no choice but to figure it out. By the time the first guest arrived, there was no evidence of any of it. Only a finished space that felt considered, complete, and unmistakably the couple's.

When it was over, they found something they had not come looking for. The same fire. The same refusal to settle. The understanding that two people who share that standard will make something extraordinary together. They have been building together ever since. OXŌM HOUSE is the home they made.

Compromises

OXŌM HOUSE did not give us a wedding. They gave us a ceremony. Every space they touched felt intentional in a way we had never experienced. Before or since.

The Totem they built for our Holi activation stopped people in their tracks. It was architecture.

The People Behind the Work

Anand Vallury

Co-Founder · Creative Director

Anand is a painter, composer, and builder. He has also served as Chief Strategy Officer and CEO across organizations in healthcare, film, and the arts. Environments where the standard of care is everything and the margin for error is nothing. That discipline lives in everything he makes. The environments he builds for OXŌM are designed with the same rigor he brought to leading those organizations, and painted with the same hand he brings to canvas. He has never approached a problem as anything other than a creative act worth getting right.

Zuha Ali

Co-Founder · Lead Artist · Principal

Zuha is a painter, actress, and mehndi artist trained at the Strasbourg Conservatory and the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. She developed a formal understanding of composition, form, and space that does not stay in the studio. It comes with her into every ceremony she designs, every environment she considers, every line she places on skin. The medium changes. The eye does not. She is also the first woman permitted to conduct a formal tasting of the single-origin Assam estate varietals at the heart of The Ceremony, a blend she spent years developing. What she brings to OXŌM is a singular point of view, expressed across everything she touches.

The Disciplines

Six disciplines.
Each one authored.

Six disciplines. One philosophy. Every one of them exists to serve the same moment, the one that matters most to you. Mehndi and mindfulness. Tea and architecture. Art that you take home and art that stays in the room long after the event ends. Together they form something no single discipline could offer alone: a ceremony that is completely, unmistakably yours.

The Mark

Ritual Adornment

Ceremonial Mehndi · Bridal · Private

Every composition begins with a conversation. Bridal, engagement, haldi, nikkah. Full arm and leg work designed for the person wearing it. Zuha does not replicate. She listens, then she draws.

Minute Mehndi · Cultural Activation

For festivals, markets, and brand activations. Three to five minutes per guest, precise without rushing. Every person leaves with something they will photograph for weeks.

The Totem

Bespoke Environments

Backdrops · Ceremony Design · Installation

Anand designs and builds environments from the ground up. Ceremonial altars, wedding structures, architectural backdrops, immersive installations. Each one conceived for a single space and built by hand. The room you walk into has never existed before. It will not exist again.

The Ceremony

Ceremonial Tea

OXŌM · Chi & Chai · Single Origin Assam

Zuha's family has tended tea in Assam for generations. This blend is hers. Single-origin, whole spice, years in the making. It arrives on the tongue one way and finishes another. Served as ceremony, not as beverage.

The Offering

Handmade Village Objects

Assam · Artisan · Ceremonial Objects · Keepsakes

Handmade objects sourced directly from artisans in the villages of Assam. Table accents, ceremonial pieces, guest keepsakes. Each one made by hand in a place that belongs to no factory and no trend cycle. Things worth keeping.

The Artifact

Fine Art Commissions

Oil · Acrylic · Canvas · Abstract · Custom

Original paintings commissioned for you, born from a conversation with us. Oil or acrylic, figurative or abstract. A portrait, a memory, a feeling rendered permanent. Anand and Zuha both paint. What comes out of the process is entirely yours and has never existed before.

Begin an Inquiry

The Presence

Yoga Therapy & Ritual Mindfulness

Breathwork · Open-Eye Meditation · Original Music · Private & Corporate

Traditional yoga therapy and open-eye meditation, practiced with the full depth of the tradition. Any moment that calls for stillness and intention. Bridal mornings, gallery openings, corporate events, private gatherings. Breathwork, aromatherapy, and ceremonial tea, held together by original music composed for your session.

The music is yours to keep. Something to return to long after the day is over.

The House

How we work.

We work with a range of budgets. Every engagement begins with a conversation.

Come in with questions. Come in with nothing but a feeling. Both are enough to start. By the time we are done talking, something will have shifted. The picture gets clear, the path becomes obvious, and you will leave knowing your moment is in the right hands with people who care deeply whether it is perfect.

Say Hello

Submit your inquiry. We read every one personally. You will hear from us.

First Conversation

We start broad. What are you building? What do you want people to feel? We listen before we say anything.

The Deep Dive

We go inside your vision. Budget, timeline, scope, every detail. This is where we figure out exactly what your moment needs.

We Handle It

You have one number to call. Ours. We take it from here. You focus on being present for your moment.

The Day

We arrive prepared. We complete, inspect, and finish ahead of schedule. Then we step back and let you have it.

What the Work Leaves Behind

The work, in context.

Bridal Commission · The Mark · Los Angeles

Priya came to us six weeks before her wedding with full arm and leg compositions she had been sketching for years, waiting for the right artist. Zuha sat with her for two hours before a single line was drawn. What she wore on her wedding day went beyond what Priya had imagined. She said she did not know mehndi could feel like that.

Priya & Arjun M. Bridal Client · Los Angeles

Cultural Activation · The Totem · Southern California

Leena came to us with a Holi activation that needed a focal environment built in 48 hours with no existing infrastructure and everything riding on the result. Anand designed and built a structural installation on site. Guests stopped walking when they saw it. The event ran for three hours. People were still photographing the structure an hour after it ended.

Leena K. Event Director · Southern California

Restaurant Activation · Minute Mehndi · Burbank

Chef Ravi wanted something that would shift the atmosphere at his cultural dinner series without interrupting the evening. Minute Mehndi moved through two hundred guests in under two hours. Every person left marked. He said the dining room felt different that night in a way he had never been able to achieve with anything else.
