VARNAM

Does the name VARNAM ring a bell? If not, then let me tell you about this marvelous store in Bangalore.

VARNAM means colours. And believe me, it's a riot of colours at varnam. They engage in reviving the age old craft of toy making which takes its roots in a small town called Channapatna,  Karnataka. This is an Eco friendly craft where there is little wastage of wood and any residual wood is also used in the incense industry. Also would like to bring to your notice that the colours used on all the products are from natural extracts and therefore non-toxic.

Karthik Vaidyanathan who comes from Chettinnad, Tamilnadu is the vision behind this one- of- a- kind store.
I have heard, known and followed Varnam since many years. Two days ago, a post from Varnam on facebook propelled me to share my love for Varnam with all of you. I will speak less and show you a glimpse of the wonderful art that they have created.

Varnam has won the 2013 Kyoorius Design award in two categories for Packaging Design and Design Craft. 

I have no words to describe the absolute simplicity of their products, which at the same time are so eye catchy and vibrant.Also Varnam has ensured that this craft of toy making goes beyond the boundaries of the kids room and makes its presence felt in the living space. All Varnam products have utilitarian value too.

Do visit their site and their facebook page.You are bound to fall in love with Varnam.
They have an exciting range of items lined up for Christmas too.

My greetings and good wishes to Mr. Karthik Vaidyanathan and the entire team of Varnam.
