Bombay Sapphire Creative Lab launches its global campaign Saw This, Made This in India on World Creativity Day. Featuring city-inspired art installations and crafted cocktail experiences, the initiative celebrates India’s diverse artistic heritage. Bombay Sapphire’s Creative Labs aims to inspire creativity within oneself.

At its core, this endeavour is about drawing inspiration from the rich culture and beauty of India, captured by Rohan Shrestha and reimagined by Klove Studio. Whether it’s the iconic landmarks or the serene landscapes, there exists a wellspring of creativity waiting to be tapped into.

 Mahesh Kanchan, the Marketing Director of Bombay Sapphire says, “At Bombay Sapphire Creative Lab, we believe creativity isn’t a privilege for the few, it’s a spark waiting to be ignited in everyone. This campaign is rooted in the idea that inspiration can be found anywhere, in anything, waiting for the right eye to see it. It demonstrates the brand’s continued commitment to creativity, both inside the cocktail glass and beyond.”

Rohan Shrestha, the photographer for the campaign, embarks on a journey across India, not as a tourist, but as a creative hunter. He captures the beauty of Taj Mahal and delves deeper, seeking the vibrant nightlife along Mumbai’s Queen’s necklace. Even Goa’s Parra Road, known for its tall Palm trees and the pink blooming flowers of Bengaluru’s Cubbon Park, is seen through Shrestha’s unique lens, showcasing a kaleidoscope of colours and textures waiting to be reimagined.

He further adds, “Saw this, Made This presented a unique opportunity to push my boundaries and explore uncharted creative territories. With these experiences I discovered a wellspring of inspiration. Stepping outside one’s comfort zone can be truly transformative and this project is a testament to the power of embracing new challenges for me.”

Meanwhile, within the walls of Klove Studios, a different kind of magic unfolds. Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth from Klove become the ‘makers’ in Saw this, Made this, reimagining Rohan’s vision into stunning art installations. This intriguing collaboration promises to redefine how we see the world around us and the potential to create extraordinary art hidden within.

“For this campaign, we envisioned a lighting experience that mirrored the brand’s spirit of exploration and discovery. We aimed to create an atmosphere that sparked curiosity and ignited creativity, just like the Bombay Sapphire Creative Lab itself”, say Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth, the founders and creative directors of Klove Studio.

Through this fusion of vision and craftsmanship, Bombay Sapphire Creative Lab reaffirms its commitment to fostering a global community where inspiration knows no boundaries. The essence of India’s cultural landscape is brought to life creatively, igniting a chain reaction of innovation that proves that the potential to create art lies within us all. As the journey continues, may it serve as a beacon of inspiration and reminds us that within every moment lies the potential for extraordinary creation.
