Foundree

WORKING WITH MATERIALS, MANIPULATING THEM AND COMBINING DIFFERENT MATERIALS TO PRODUCE UNSEEN RESULTS HAS BEEN THE CORE OF HER DESIGN PROCESS. THE STARTING INSPIRATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE MATERIAL ITSELF—GETTING INTO THE DEPTH OF THE MATERIAL PROPERTIES, ITS BEHAVIOUR AND ITS INTERACTION WITH OTHER MATERIALS FORMS THE FOUNDATION OF HER DESIGNS.

CLASSICALLY CONFORMATIVE, THE AESTHETIC IS SIMPLE, STRUCTURED AND TIMELESS. SHE CONTINUALLY STRIVES TO UPLIFT THESE CLASSIC SILHOUETTES WITH PLAY OF MATERIALS AND MECHANISMS.

After years of self-funded research and experimentation, Sri used her experience and learnings to take the industrial process and give it a touch of emotion. By adding a layer of craft through beading, embroidery and dyeing, 3D printed pieces were humanised and given more character than before.
