Rooted in Indian craft’s legacy of making with local material abundance, we are connecting the largest craft concentration in the world to some of the largest landfill sites, creating value for ecology and economy alike.Based and born in Jaipur (India), we’re a team of material scientists, artisans, and designers reimagining the future of Indian craft by collaborating with industrial waste streams from sanitary ware and the steel industries. We aim to combine our expertise in craft research, product design, and material science to refocus climate action through traditional technologies.Newblue was founded by designer Disharee Mathur, a Jaipur-native, during her masters in Innovation Design Engineering (IDE) at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College, London. It is a result of conversations between 4 institutions across two countries- the Material Research Center at the Malviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT) and Neerja Blue Pottery in Jaipur, brought together with IDE at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College, London. It takes a participatory approach to rethinking craft from the particle level of the material to the mass of form and function; that is relevant, receptive, and innovates as an act of preservation.
