Bhangar - news paper lamps


The lamp is made out of shredded news paper woven at the base through a wire frame. The irregular and random arrangements of the shredded paper produces interesting visual effects.


The lamp is made by a simple paper folding method common in origami. Here it is the folds in the paper and the news paper print itself that creates the dramatic light effect.

Bhangar - rag cushion covers


These cushions are layered with rags. The user has the option to recycle his own discarded clothes to be included in the design. Each piece is a treasure-chest of memories.

Bhangar - Magazine table


This side-table is made by folding 2 magazines into a petal shape. Though decorative it full fills the weight bearing function of a table.

Bhangar - Tetley tea bag


This bag is made by weaving strips from recycled Tetley tea cartons (laminated packages). Due to its many layers these cartons are impossible to recycle otherwise and do not degrade quickly either. The handle is made using an old bangle.

Bhangar - news paper bowls


These decorative bowls are hand molded from recycled waste news paper. They look fabulous holding wrapped candies, potpourri or decorative stones

Bhangar - floppy dustbin


A Dustbin made by using old unwanted floppy discs. The floppies are attached to each other using old paper clips.

"Bhangar” started out as a part of a project that explores the usage and recycling of materials that are a part of our daily lives but often overlooked as a source of raw material for other products.
Off-course when it comes to fashion and trends one doesn’t want to look like some yoghurt-weaving hippie, but at the same time you want to look like a conscientious shopper with a sense of individuality and style.
That’s where these products come in. Purely made by dismantling and reassembling household crap, they not only provide an outlet for ethical shopping but also innovative and chic products.

They say im too thin,
Then why don't I fit in?

If I'm loosing the inches,
then why can't I measure up?

cube calendar


A 6 page calendar I designed on an acrylic cube filled with sand, with each surface of the cube representing 2 months in the year.
As you rotate the cube every 2 months so that that the correct month faces you, the illustration on the surface and the sand in the box all fall into place creating a complete image.
