KaReGhar Designs is a Mumbai-based company turning scrap into functional artwork. Founded by Ankita and Haider, quite an energetic + talented duo I might add, the company transforms automotive scrap into handmade art, one piece at a time. The venture was started when they came across a broken bench on the Worli Seaface and thought about the different ways it could be made use of. Soon, whenever they saw stuff like broken down doors, tin cans, tyres, cars rotting away, etc., they began brainstorming on how to make things out of it. A visit to a scrapyard gave them inspiration…with piles of scrap, each with a different shape and texture.
How the name came up:
Ka stands (in ancient Egypt) for the supposed spiritual part of an individual human being or God, which survived (with the soul) after death and could reside in a statue of the person.
Re stands for ReCycle, ReGenerate, ReFurbish.
Ghar means Home, office, garden, any space that is yours.
