The founder of Ek Kalakaar Design Studio, where sustainability and artistic furniture storytelling collide, is Anurag Bhandari, a designer based in Ahmedabad. Anurag creates one-of-a-kind pieces that defy accepted design conventions and honour conscious living by using discarded materials like rusted steel, plastic pipes, wood scraps, and industrial slag. 

What began as a resource-constrained practical decision has evolved into a mission: to demonstrate that sustainability is a creative advantage rather than a compromise. Each design begins with the material itself, shaped by its form, flaws, and history, resulting in one-of-a-kind products that merge aesthetics with ethics. 

Anurag’s art challenges us to reconsider waste and adopt environmentally conscious design. His studio is now a silent revolution, encouraging designers, architects, and consumers to experiment with upcycling, reuse, and thoughtful material selection. In his view, beauty is found in change and in demonstrating that even the broken can be transformed into something remarkable.
