18th to 26th October 2018



New Delhi, 18th October 2018: It is the festival of caring and sharing, a moment when good triumphs over evil and the lights for Diwali herald a new dawn. That time of the year when those with a voice fight for the mute and festive gifting becomes an occasion to support causes closest to one’s heat.

In keeping with the spirit, Casa Pop led by Raseel Gujral Ansal and Zooki, a multi designer store by Charu Singh host an exhibition of not just their own festive collections but also a very exceptional and endearing collection of hand blown glassware crafted by Indian artisans for PFA (People for Animals) under the creative direction of Smt. Maneka Gandhi, honorable Minister for Women and Child Welfare, Govt of India.

These are beautiful hand blown colored wine and water glasses inspired by the world famous Italian Murano glass. The limited edition glasses offer a great opportunity for the discerning to own and cherish these beautifully crafted pieces. Proceeds from sales will help fund the 36 hospitals and animal shelters run by the NGO, People for Animals.

Says Smt. Maneka Gandhi, Diwali is the time you could invest in unique gifts of social importance. Products that not just grace your home but also support a cause closest to your heart. My request to everyone is ‘always buy festive gifts from NGOs who work in the field to help the helpless and be part of their cause. . We are happy to present a limited edition of hand blown glassware this Diwali.”

For the last two years PFA has been working with artisans from Firozabad in India to develop the most beautiful glass in consultation with renowned artist, Momin Latif. While India has a tradition of making exquisite glass bangles, our heritage of blown glass making is dwindling. Especially since collectors prefer to buy imported glassware for their homes. Gradually, the artisans of Firozabad, not finding the craft lucrative, are unfortunately turning away from this age old indigenous craft of hand-blown glass making.

It was time for someone to put their energies into upgrading glass making in India and PFA has done so. With Momin Latif they chose the best artisans and trained them over a period of two years to develop water and wine glasses. From being pipette makers for laboratory equipment, they have become artists who have produced glass- ware that is truly comparable to Murano glass in its finesse and finish.

Raseel Gujral Founder of CASA Paradox articulates, ”Casa Pop is coming forward to support PFA as this cause is close to my heart. Animal welfare is intrinsic to the well being of our planet. People like us with means have to be the voice. Besides I also admire the various creative campaigns led by Mrs. Gandhi that give an expression to the hand made heritage of India.  Animals, meanwhile are also my most endearing muses and this season you can see them all over our wall paper, art, products and resort wear.”

For this festive edit, Casa presents a collection for a home that happily speaks a strong and vibrant design language. Monochrome lines meet bold colors as animal and floral prints dot this collection. Soft pastel rose meets  fresh reds as exquisite cushions, table ware, art d’objets and knick knacks get set to jazz up your home.

Charu Singh Founder of Zooki further adds, ”This amazing collection is the culmination of Mrs. Gandhi’s dedication to animal welfare, the sterling support of her NGO to the cause and her own eye for creative endeavors. As a family we support the commitment to prevention of cruelty against animals and their rehabilitation.”

A multi brand store that endeavors to scout new talent, house new names and emblazon the look with bold cuts and silhouettes, Zooki formally launches their first bridge to couture store at The Chanakya with this festive edit.  For Diwali this year, Zooki recommends women to combine free spirited shirts with lehengas, wear a lot of florals and bring back the romance of hand woven silks.
      
This beautiful initiative, with the help of the appreciation of patrons, is bound to infuse a new lease of life in the preservation and promotion of the hand-blown glass craft of India. Besides support the 36 hospitals that heal over a 1000 animals each month in their facilities.
