An architect and urban designer by education, Rutuja Kendurkar is a fibre artist by passion. She started Thread101 as a one stop shop in the market for all kinds of sustainable home décor pieces and utility elements. Having showcased her creations in major exhibitions across the country, Rutuja wants to promote Thread101 as a way of giving business to local vendors and women while keeping the focus on sustainability.
THREAD101 IS ALL ABOUT... my fiber art explorations: a creative endeavor that helps me learn, unlearn, and learn some more. It is a thread that attempts to weave décor pieces that are durable, sustainable, purposeful, and aesthetically pleasing.
DESIGN FOR YOU IS...like breathing. My subconscious mind is continually working on newer concepts, and I’m always buzzing with passion and energy to get back to my workspace and turn these ideas to creations— knot by knot.
THROUGH MY DESIGNS...I wish to create an awareness about sustainable decor pieces and make home/workspace organization more stylish and less wearisome.
I DRAW INSPIRATIONS FROM...a number of things. I draw inspiration from my disgust towards reckless misuse and excessive waste. So every time I see an object that has potential but has been discarded, I take it upon myself to give it some TLC. Sustainability drives me.
THE DESIGN ERA THAT FASCINATES ME THE MOST... While Scandinavian interior design fascinates me the most, Art Deco holds a special place in my heart. My mandala designs are a direct abstraction of the topmost tier design from Chrysler building. Geometric shapes, straight lines, and a riot of colors are the basis of my designs.
