The best projects start with a "what if."

Back in 2023, during the ‘Travelling Patterns’ residency with @goetheinstitut_chenna and @tara_books, I met @vgerlach. Through the course of the project, I started seeing Madras through her typographer’s lens - distilling the vibrant chaos of the beach into sharp, graphic icons. She was particularly taken by the rustic silhouette of the beach horses, and soon after, a "vague idea" landed in my inbox.

Verena imagined these forms as something tactile. She suggested teak wood and silver (a combination that felt made for each other).

At @rasvihar , we’ve always been fueled by this kind of curiosity. To get the carving just right, I turned to my friend from NID, @somilsingh_ .There is a certain ease in working with someone who understands how the smallest detail of a curve changes the entire soul of an object. We spent time marking up samples and refining the silhouette until it felt right.

The result is a little piece of serendipity.
A Berlin-designed icon, inspired by the shores of Madras, carved in teak, and finished in our studio.

It’s more than a pendant; it’s a wearable memory of a project that just keeps on travelling.

Maybe it's time to expand the collection, @vgerlach?

When my mother and grandmother described their wedding days, they recalled the bride entering the phera in simple Kota doria, minimal jewellery, and hair still damp from a fresh wash. There was a raw honesty in that simplicity that I was really drawn to.

I also find the patriarchy baked into most wedding customs quite nauseating. If it were up to me, we would have headed to the court and been done in twenty minutes. But since a wedding was happening, I decided to channel my energy into the things I actually value - the craft, the ethics, and the stories.
Every piece was a conscious choice. My outfit, designed by @studio_medium and @nainajainkolkata , wasn't a "bridal" look by general standards. I told @jainriddhi that my outfit had to be vegan, versatile, and wearable. They worked their magic and made me something that I absolutely love wearing even today. (My mom and I could not have survived the wedding if not for @njain1964 and Riddhi, truly friends like family ❤️)

As is customary, the bangles (similar to a chooda,) are a gift from the maternal side - traditionally ivory or plastic. A sign of a married woman so of course I was going to rebel and wanted something that doesn't scream 'married'. At @rasvihar we made these bangles in silver with red and white enamel so that I would actually wear it.

My nephew Kabir was not the most thrilled to share his time with Gaurav but he was so cutely part of everything, from plucking petals to presenting gifts and also taking photos on his toy camera! (He did a better job than our actual photographer)

I spent most of the ceremony feeling restless (and I wasn't afraid to show it) about rituals that lacked relevance. But looking at these photos now, I realise the best part is that three years in, @whoisgaurav continues to work with my idealism and rebellion. It takes a special kind of patience and for that, I’m grateful ❤️.

I've always been more interested in the 'story' than the spectacle. I'm not someone who enjoys being fussed over or likes the attention. So, for my Baana Bithai, I decided to step away from the typical wedding fuss and move back into the intimacy of my home. This ritual felt most authentic to me when it was just people close to me. Having my cousins and friends get me ready in my own room was far more enjoyable than any professional setup could have been.

A bridal trousseau, or aana, is customary in our weddings—a collection of gifts passed down to daughters. My own aana is a bit of a patchwork of history, including elements from both my mother’s and grandmother’s and great grandmother’s collections. The heart of it was my great-grandmother’s 100-year-old pink Banarasi odhani, which was patiently restored by @intach_heritage INTACH Lucknow. Seeing it hang there as the backdrop for my ceremony still feels surreal.

Every other element followed that same thread—from my mom’s aunt’s wedding odhani embroidered in real silver transferred into a sari, to the handmade treasures I’ve framed, like the beadwork ludo and the patchwork khunkhos my grandmother made for her own wedding. Feels like I’m well on my way to building my own museum of family treasures! :)

Even my jewellery was designed with this same sense of longevity. I’ve always preferred pieces that can be worn with ease over things that sit in a locker, so I designed this @rasvihar long chain for its simple, classic look. It’s made with gold and Swarovski pearls, intended to be lived in and worn for a long time to come. ✨

Worked with the good folks at @rasvihar. We made prototypes in silver first.
And then gold. @artsiddhar and I made 1:1 laser cut stencils of the pendant to make sure the shapes were as accurate as we can get.

Constantly in awe with the efficiency of process when it comes to design.

Entrepreneurs and students, especially #design students must study the life and work of #SteveJobs, every nuance of it. There's much one can pick up from it.
