Originè Atelier
Transforming Heritage into Living Art
A collective of artists, craftsmen, and creative thinkers dedicated to reviving India's timeless crafts through thoughtfully designed, everyday products.
Our Story
Founded in 2007
by Hemant Shah & Vikram Singh
Originè Atelier was born from a deep concern for India's fading art traditions. What began as an exploration soon became a purpose-driven journey across rural India, where artisans were found struggling to keep their heritage alive.
Rooted in Indian traditions, Originè Atelier collaborates closely with craftsmen without displacing them from their cultural roots. Each creation respectfully blends heritage techniques with contemporary aesthetics.
Creativity, for us, is the courage to see differently—to build meaningful connections through design, collaboration, and thoughtful storytelling that resonates across cultures.
