ESTIMATESAbout Sustainable Furniture & Product Design
Why I Design
I’m always chasing that sweet spot where a product feels right for the space, the people, and the planet. For me, design isn’t just about how something looks - it’s about what it stands for. I try to keep things functional, honest, and rooted in the world around us.
Materials With a Story
I’m big on upcycled furniture design. I’ll hunt for old timber, doors, or even invasive plants like Lantana camara and see what new life I can give them. Sometimes it’s a diwan, sometimes a shelf. I’ve made kitchen counters with cement oxide and oyster shells, pantry shutters from upcycled wood, and I’m always experimenting with natural finishes for furniture - think earth plaster, linseed oil, and handmade oxide.
Design That Gives Back
A lot of my work is about community-based product creation. With the Lantana Project, I’m not just making furniture - I’m teaching local folks in Salem how to work with this tricky plant, so it becomes a source of income and helps restore the land. I’ve even tried turning Lantana into a building skin that doubles up as bird habitat and artisan livelihood.
Rethinking Urban Spaces
Sometimes, I get to play with bigger ideas. Like the wearable shelter for outdoor workers in Bangalore - a poncho that turns into a tent or chair, giving shade and dignity on the go. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start.
My Material Palette
I keep it simple: repurposed teak, cane, Lantana, handmade finishes, local stone, and bricks. Nothing fancy, just honest stuff that lasts.

My Story
We’re Betweenlines because for us, the magic’s always in the gaps - between city and wild, research and making, ideas and real life. We’ve built shelters you can wear, turned annoying lantana weeds into furniture, and learned a lot from both wins and flops. Our team’s a mix of folks who love to experiment. For us, the best bit is seeing a space grow its own story with the people who use it.
My Work
