ReImagine:Art,Fun and Creativity

                                                 

Its a pleasure meeting creative people and I am so happy that I discovered Reimagine and the creative team behind.

‘ReImagine’ is an upcycling project that Lynessa has started along with a friend, Kushy Kuttappa. Though both their educational backgrounds and professional work are in psychology, their interest in art brought them together at an art course last year. They decided they wanted to start a fun project together. 

‘ReImagine’ was thus born as an avenue to explore and express their interest in art and creativity. As they pondered on what they wanted to create, 3 empty wine bottles that were  be discarded stared longingly at them ... and in their beauty, fragility and translucence, they found a medium that has given them much joy and adventure. They say these bottles are reminders that beauty can be created from anything. 

Few points on ‘ReImagine’

•Focus is on making upcycled objects that are aesthetic, functional and affordable - to promote the idea of beauty in ‘Green Living’. 

•Currently they make products from used glass bottles but  plan to extend to other materials as well. The bottles and jars used are donated by friends or sourced from restaurants. 

•Aesthetics: They spend a lot of time on design. One of their goals is to challenge the idea that ‘recycled objects look like scrap’. 

•Functionality: The products can be used and washed daily and are professionally finished. 

•Affordability: Current range is priced between Rs.250 to 500, depending on the design work they have put into it. They specifically want to create products that anyone can buy. 

They plan to showcase and sell our products at exhibitions. They also offer customized products for individuals. 




Its amazing what these empty bottles have to tell you:Read, Enjoy and do let me know..
