Layaa / Home Goods By Variously

Derived from the Hindi word 'Laya' which means tempo , mostly used in classical music, also a source of inspiration to my design & research process. These textiles are deeply rooted in ancient artisanal techniques that are collaborative in nature.Passed from one hand to another since generations.Sense of harmony, rhythm and restfulness in this act of creation breathes life into our textiles. It's a wholistic cycle combining imagination , materials & techniques which needs to be sustained & celebrated for making things that matter.This entry includes custom designed pillows throws and rug.

Studio Variously is a sustainable design brand based in Michigan. We exclusively work with heritage master artisans of 3rd / 4th generation to create textile based collections for home goods and fashion accessories like scarves. We believe that sustainbility is a shared responsibility which is why we support Sustainable Design Goals set by United Nations in our design+manufacturing process. Studio Variously explores modern design elements by combining environment friendly materials & ancient techniques. We seek beauty in slow made textiles that bring people & their cultural stories together.
