Writing on the Wall

Check out our NEW website at www.bpbweekend.com!

You’re suffering from a Holi hangover, and we’ve got the perfect cure: memo tiles by Asta Couture, which you can prop against the wall and draw, write, scribble on (with temporary markers) until you’re all doodled out. Wipe clean, and start all over again.

Made from ceramic, these are a fun spin on your drab soft/white board, come in a range of colours (blue, orange, white) and sizes, and can be customised to a large degree – juxtapose a bunch of different sizes and shapes together, and you’re guaranteed to get some pave reviews!

G(laze) Around

If you’re too lazy to do your art, Shweta Rohira, the design force behind Asta Couture is happy to pick up the slack. Swing by her studio (remember to call ahead as it’s by appointment only), and she’ll create anything from a single hand-painted tile to an intricate wall mosaic, especially tailored to your requirements. We especially love her coffee machine and owl designs.

Getting there: Asta Couture, 101 Niranjan Building, off Jayprakash Road, Seven Bungalows, call 9820457876, start at Rs 350.

Another Trick in the Wall

And if you want to go further than that extra tile, surrender your entire partition to JJ School of Arts graduates Yadnee and Rahul Gaikwad, co-founders of Giant Walls. From an installation of unending shelves populated with fibre dolls to wall art that creeps on to a wardrobe, these guys can add some serious va-va voom to your room.

“With us, walls go beyond paint. We work with glass, metal, wood and all kinds of artifacts to customise your space, which should ultimately reflect your personality,” says Rahul, who has a decade of experience in the field. They can also develop an entire room for you, working in collaboration with interior designers and architects. Wall flowers!

Getting there: Call 9004047240 / 9004047240 to make an appointment, log on to www.giantwalls.in or email rahul@giantwalls.in, price differs according to your requirement.
