LIFEthings
Abhijit Bansod is a quirky designer who thinks not just out of the box, but out of the whole carton. His products are prisms to a whimsical wit and a love of surprise, but they also conjure pain and emotion. They escape the Pandora's box of mere functionality to beautifully reveal stories and poems…and interact with their users, heightening creativity and imagination. Lifethings is Abhijit's newest collection of lifestyle accessories. Of things that have unique identities of their own, inspired, naturally, by life. That talk to us, not just about us. That short of getting up and shaking our hands can do everything else in the communications business. Take us into the past (memory), work in the present (functionality) and illuminate the future (imagination). With a simplicity of mood and a cheerfulness of design, make us laugh and teach us to feel. Lifethings is an attempt to locate a space where there is fusion of Indian and hand crafts, recycled and reused materials and high precision industrial production processes. Inspired by people, nature and everyday situations. Invoking memory. Interpreting contemporary culture in an inimitable and rather eccentric way.
