WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON OUR ‘FACILE MONTI’ STYLE OF CONSTRUCTION
LiGHT-FiSH is a unit of Auroville
LiGHT-FiSH is an emerging product design studio focused on the minimalistic beauty of natural materials. Sustainable materials are carefully chosen and crafted into visionary and intelligently designed products. Many custom and limited edition designs are prototyped, tested and refined, each time telling a unique story.
LiGHT-FiSH is created by Samvit Blass. Born in Auroville, India, he studied Industrial Design at the Massachusett College of Art in the United States. After working for six years in the US, he taught Design at Raffles University, first in Shanghai, then in Mumbai. In 2009 Samvit, together with his brother Rishi and a handful of alumni started LiGHT- FiSH in Mumbai.
"Our Vision is to lead Sustainable Design in India."
In 2010 LiGHT-FiSH moved to Auroville where their competencies in design and development brought on bigger and more challenging projects. "With more space to work, we purchased hi-tech machinery and developed skills in working with glass, metal, wood, resins and plastics.
Regenerative Design with Kamataru Forest
Our products are designed to have a positive impact on society and the environment. New technology is embraced to create products that are long lasting and efficient.
We, at LiGHT-FiSH, virtually outsource nothing and ensure that nothing goes to waste. We believe in sustainable resources and are actively involved in preserving the environment. Rishi, the founder of Kamataru Forest project, selects for LiGHT-FISH wood coming only from naturally fallen trees.
LiGHT-FiSH products are manufactured with great care in Auroville, an international community with a vision to bridge the past to a brighter, more sustainable future. The sawdust is returned to Kamataru and transformed into mulch and compost for the forest, and a full ecological cycle is completed.
