Journey

Rema's career spans nearly three decades, from early work in home furnishings to launching her own labels and curating artisan-focused projects. She has worked across India's craft regions, collaborating directly with weaving communities.


Her approach is collaborative and intuitive, shaped by what each craft community offers. Her journey includes co-curating exhibitions, mentoring rural women artisans, and exploring sustainable craft applications through workshops and writing.

Style

Rema's design philosophy centers on reviving India's textile heritage through contemporary expression. She works extensively with traditional handloom techniques, creating work that bridges craft traditions with modern design.


For her work with Lara Lakshmi, she draws from geometry, natural landscapes, and organic elements. Her color palette reflects seasonal changes and natural surroundings, muted earth tones, rich jewel colors, and layered combinations that feel timeless.
