WorkshopQ – WHO WE ARE

We design. We create. We visualize. We find the chaos in the calm. We find the bumps in the seamless. We see the incoherent in the coherent. We upcycle. We recycle. We sustain. We find what we can upcycle. We find what we can not upcycle as well. We experiment. We design. We create.

OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

OUR PROCESS

AWARENESS THROUGH ART

Giving more permanent solutions to our cause of UPCYCLING Under this mission of Awareness through Art’, we aim to target public spaces/events and showcase large-scale installations, sculptures and home décor products made from industrial waste to riase awareness about environmental issues that affect us in our daily lives. Breathing new life into the old & wasted was a process that excited us & we knew that the possibilities are endless with large environmental impacts. At WorkshopQ, we employ a zero waste policy where we upcycle every bit of waste, even one that is generated by us.

“Art is so much more than you think; although it can’t directly solve the problems, it shines issues in a new light”.

CLIENT PORTFOLIO

RE-THINKING THE PAITHANI WEAVE

This 8x11 feet Art Installation at the Jaya He GVK Museum (Mumbai International Airport) is a celebration of the very traditional Marathi ‘Paithani’ weave and the discarded plastic bag. Embracing the concept of transformation and reuse as a fundamental aesthetic principle, a handcrafted fabric of waste plastic bags and wrappers made on a traditional charkha and handloom forms the base of this artwork.

THE BUMBLEBEE

Made using 1600 kgs of waste & redundant metal truck parts, this 12’6” tall Bumblebee was made for Ashok Leyland to show off the company’s strength and might at its Global Conference celebrating their 70th anniversary. From the movie ‘Transformer’, this Bumblebee is completely upcycled from waste metal procured from Ashok Leyland’s warehouse and scrap yard.

AUTOMATIC GANPATI

Currently placed at Delhi, this 6’6” tall Ganpati we made for Ford earned them a silver at the OOH awards 2018! Using 900 kgs of waste metal car parts procured from Ford, the company aimed to pay a tribute to Lord Ganesha.

Made for Ford for their corporate gifting, these smaller Ganpatis were handcrafted using Ford India’s smaller metal automobile waste parts. The entire process of sorting through their scrap, ideating these mini idols and giving it life and form through welding was a remarkable experience.

AUTOMATIC “mini” GANPATI
