Conscious artistry by Ekaurr

Giving one more chance to nature's remnants, this brand pioneers slow crafting

24 Dec 2025

Meet a trio of young entrepreneurs navigating the world of design and decor with a novel vision. As 3D art and artificial technology shake up the creative landscape, Ekaurr, a design studio founded by Ragini Bengani, Dhwani Bengani and Vidushi Hirawat, carves its path forward with quiet dignity and innovation. Rooted in the values of soil, memory and slow craft, they turn to nature’s remnants from old workshops and rural homes, reviving them through conscious artistry to create decor and homeware with a new purpose.

The Hindi term “ekaurr” signifies “one more.” Ekaurr, in tandem with its name, gives discarded materials another chance at purpose. As the trio affirm, “At Ekaurr, we think that beauty isn’t in perfection; it is in stories.” After a quarter of a century of leading recycling and upcycling under Bonafide Exports, their legacy now stretches into India through this domestic vertical, inviting the consumer to discover mindful luxury based on heritage, inventiveness, and renewal.

Ekaurr tale

When every piece carries a story, how does one crown a bestseller? It’s like picking stars from the night sky. At Ekaurr, each object is infused with quiet reverence for its origins. Take the vintage wooden shoe moulds discovered in old workshops, now refined to sculptures that anchor a room with their patina. And what of the centuries-old print blocks, retired from textile houses? They’re revived as tealight holders, planters, hooks and collectable accents engraved with motifs from different generations.

To add to the collection are driftwood chiselled by waves, scrap metal reimagined as art and even small pieces of wood and jute are raised to the level of use. All of them standing as answers to the question: Could it be that beauty resides in the things we neglect?

Craft for tomorrow

Ekaurr’s journey culminates in objects that once belonged in the past, be it timeworn cowbells with rustic patina, antique seed dispensers handled by farmers, or brass curios passed through generations. Bird feeders softened by years of use and spoons that once stirred offerings in sacred havans, everything is imbued with a spiritual warmth. Occasionally, even doors and carved jalis are rescued from ageing havelis to give them a new life within modern dwellings. These salvaged forms prove that creativity thrives beyond convention. Where many perceive ruin, Ekaurr senses a promise.
