The ‘S’ Lamp

Alphabet lamp filled with nuts of all sizes.


By now we all know that we have a soft corner towards making lamps; especially lamps that are personalized to represent oneself.

To create this lamp we cut out a chunky piece of wood into an angular 'S' design. Then we coated the cut-out with a viscous paint of black. To top it up and give the lamp a quirky look we pasted hardware nuts of all sizes randomly onto the 'S' canvas.

In our project we create an alphabet lamp for a client who had seen this concept lamp of ours at our exhibition. She wanted to customize the lamp with an 'S' design that depicts her names' initial.

Fo
r the lighting bit, a string of daylight LED was pasted over the alphabets' periphery.  With some final soldering, wiring and plugging, the lamp was ready to stand and shine.


Strong & smart…what do you think of our nut-filled lamp art?

The Domino Effect

A fun and playful clock made of domino tiles.


We've all loved playing this vintage game of thumb-sized tiled numbers. But today we play Domino of a different kind.

In this DIY, we stack these domino tiles in a circular fashion by using each number tile as a corresponding number to the digits of the clock. To make this super fun clock, all we need is a wall clock, some paint color of our choice and a set of dominoes of course.

To start off with, neatly paint the clock uniformly. After it dries we need to stick the domino tiles. It's best to put first the 12 and then in it opposite side place the 6. Then in between in the right side put the 3 and thus with opposite placements we'll get all our tiles neatly and appropriately placed.

In just 2 simple steps, our playful clock is ready. It would look great for a kid’s room or even in your study.

Happy times are ready to tick by - a sweeping domino effect I say.

Clip it, Frame it

An adorable personalized picture gift for an adorable 1 year old.

 
We made a pretty picture collage for the cutest little baby - Anaya. Her aunt wanted to gift her a memorable 1st birthday gift.  So we put in all the sweet-naughty memories of little Anaya over the past one year in a clothes-line fashioned picture frame.

With the theme of a pastel carnival we created various elements and pictures that were associated to the birthday girl: from her love for dance to her use of gibberish words.

When all the elements were put together it did make a pretty collage. And with every passing year when the little one grows up, there's room to replace the old memories with new loving ones.

The Perfume Bar

It’s been a week full of first time's and here comes one more. We were asked to make giveaways for a very close friend’s Mehendi function. After much thought, we zeroed down on the idea for gifting perfumes. But this had to be done with a twist. Why not make it an activity for the guests.

A perfume is a combination of 3 notes; Base note, Middle note and Top note. Making a perfume is a simple process of mixing all the 3 notes. We set up a counter of five fragrances under each note and put up posters to explain the mixing process. All the guests had to do, is follow the instructions which would help them create their own perfume. Each bottle was then packed in a sack and tagged with the wedding label.
To be honest, this was the Bride’s idea and her guests totally enjoyed this experience. It was a unique way to personalize the gifts. Thank you Hiral for your faith in us. Congratulations to the beautiful couple. Stay blessed.

I ‘Cane’ Do It

Cane + Wicker decor inspiration: to add some affordable exoticism to your home


Cane is a popular choice for home decor & furniture. They are a great way to add inexpensive yet exotic value to your home. Like bamboo, they are lightweight and extremely durable for both outdoors and indoors.
Rattan species of trees encompasses hundreds of types of palms, cane furniture is made from the outer layer of a palm and wicker is made from the inner core. Rattan furniture has been popular throughout the world for a few hundred years and dates back to 2000 B.C. when it was used to weave chests and chairs in Egypt.

The versatility of cane and wicker products extends their value from making chairs to desk lamps to flower jugs to trays. They particularly go well with Tropical or Asian themed rooms.
Durable, inexpensive, sturdy and definitely great to look at – these are the few properties of cane which has made it stand the test of times, and till today it is loved and used by all.

SS / Heart Initials Lamp

A lamp made with wood and love!


We feel that with lamps we can create magic at home. And to extend the love that our dear friends Sukruti and Shreeram have for one another, we made a special lamp for them as a wedding gift.

 We took the initials S-S of the couple and designed a symbolic love logo with the the mirror images of the 'S' forming a heart in between. A coat of dark wood polish along with magenta paint hues give the lamp a sophisticated rich look. And now all we need is lights that highlight the heart shared between S&S.

The couple absolutely loved the lamp. All we can say is that we tried to capture their love in the heart of this lamp.
