Malai and food - there's much mire than you though

Malai and food - there's much mire than you thought to this. Not so long ago we were part of an exhibition curated by the @vamuseum called Food : Bigger than the plate. Our works were considered and selected because we work extensively with agricultural waste - water from mature coconuts.
.
But there's more to it : Malai is actually edible, there is nothing in it that would cause you trouble although we do admit it might not be tastiest of the snacks ;-)
.
But you can eat well while looking at Malai! Where? At @granfierro_praha restaurant in Prague, Czech Republic. This place in the heart of the city not olnly famous for its delicacies but increasingly also for its positive approach to circularity, composting and use of eco-friendly materials for food preparation & packaging.
.
We have had an opportunity to design and make table mats for them recently and we love how they seamlessly blended with the decor and spirit of gran fierro!

Beautiful @palaksureshgupta wearing the airy flowing wrap dress crafted from pre-worn mundu cloth shaded by the olakkuda umbrella. And let’s not forget the accessory that belong to this - the first design made during creation of this collection, entirely hand made small bucket bag 🥥❤️
Thank you all for appreciating our take on sustainability and circularity and thanks to the wonderful team preparing the show during this strange unusual times we live in.

Look No. 16
Crafted from airy and supple mundu cloth softened by wearers over the years.
Accompanied by one of a kind flat shoulder bag. Initially we didn’t know if we can do cyanotype on Malai as we never tried before. Little did we know this experiment will give life to this beautiful product 😊 and we can proudly say : yes - cyanotype works on malai too although the material needs a very careful treatment and handling during the wash.
We cannot wait to try more experiments with this printing technique on our materials!
