Designer, Ranganath Krishnamani, banks on the nostalgic thoughts of rushing out onto the street upon the arrival of assorted carts and their owners who were frequent on the busy streets of Bangalore.

The Brief

A self-initiated project that connects Ranganath to his Bangalorean roots! As a child growing up in any Indian city, you get attracted to the colours and calls of carts and their owners that would typically pass by most homes. A similar emotion irked this project as every time these ‘thelas’ passed by Ranganath’s home would peek his imagination and would compel him to run out of home to observe what they had to offer in that cart.
