REIMAGINING OBJECTS
Objects when re-imagined, can uncover an entire world, carefully hidden in between the reflection of a smoothly functioning society. It is the desire to go deeper that exposes the truth behind our intricately crafted reality. This section of the blog attempts to deal with these truths and moving beyond just dealing, by presenting the idea of a more complete and sensitive world. Combining their design sensibilities with a thorough understanding of the system that revolves around their chosen objects, the creators of these works have made a sincere attempt at re-defining the way we look at these objects by changing the form of these objects. Immersing themselves in a process of research and iterations, their statement speaks of a desire to change the norm, in a lasting and meaningful way.

It has also happened to become synonymous with femininity, royalty, privilege and patriarchy among others. The notion that an individual must be able to express themselves gave rise to YOU, Your Own Umbrella, an umbrella individualized to serve your needs for function and your right to express yourself through objects that surround you.
