Shades of Green invites you to experience Songs of Nature, a unique design showcase by Oorjaa, from 8th to 13th August at Sabha, Kamaraj Road, Bangalore. Open from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, this week-long event highlights Oorjaa’s celebrated lighting creations, crafted from natural waste and rooted in conscious design.
Known for transforming materials like banana fibre, lantana, cork, and granite dust into sculptural lighting, Oorjaa brings together signature pieces and a new collection inspired by the quiet intelligence of nature. But Songs of Nature is more than a design display—it’s a space for dialogue and reflection, bringing together artists, designers, and sustainability thinkers.
Visitors can take part in talks, panels, and hands-on workshops, all centered on exploring the purpose and impact of creative practices. The event seeks to foster a deeper understanding of material intelligence and circular design—questioning how we make, why we make, and how our choices shape the world around us.
Jenny Pinto, Founder and Design Director of Oorjaa, shared, “Songs of Nature is a chance to pause and listen — not just to ideas and conversations, but to the deep, often invisible systems that shape our material world. We hope it sparks curiosity, care, and a renewed sense of connection to how and why we create.”
Set within Sabha, a restored 160-year-old colonial school, the event combines heritage architecture with contemporary sustainable design. It invites guests to experience lighting not just as decor, but as poetry made tangible—expressing the values of care, craft, and environmental responsibility.
Step into Songs of Nature and discover how conscious creativity and natural materials can illuminate both spaces and minds.
