Puja Vanarse
Born in the vibrant landscapes of India, my relationship with nature began in quiet observation. From the fragrance of jasmine at dusk to the golden stillness of marigolds in temple courtyards, I grew up surrounded by color, ritual, and seasonality.
Today, my work explores the intersection of traditional Indian craftsmanship and contemporary design. I seek not merely to present paper and form at their finest, but to honor the full journey of creation — from the raw texture of handmade sheets to the final pressed detail. Each piece carries a sense of time, intention, and quiet reverence for the materials that shape it.
Philosophy
I believe stationery should feel personal, intentional, and enduring. In a world of fleeting digital exchanges, the written word holds quiet power. A handwritten note, a carefully chosen journal, a thoughtfully designed invitation — these are gestures of presence.
