Hyderabad: Sustainability and regenerative art took center stage at Orange Tree on September 21, as the eco-conscious home décor and furniture store hosted a groundbreaking collaboration with Raw Collaborative.

Featuring around 170 works from 11 artists across the country, the event highlighted how art can align with environmental responsibility.
Kicking off at 11 am, attendees were treated to a pop-up exhibition filled with creations that blurred the lines between sustainability and artistry.
“The aim is to show that waste can also be transformed into art. Regenerative art is about breathing new life into materials that are often discarded and demonstrating the incredible beauty that can emerge from them,” said Preeyaa Jain, Vice President of Orange Tree. “It’s not just about art for art’s sake—it’s about creating something meaningful for the future.”
Among the featured artists were Parth Kothekar, whose intricate paper-cut wall art emphasized minimal waste, and Noya (Ujjval Shah), whose regenerative textile designs explored the balance between craftsmanship and environmental stewardship. Abstrac (Brinda Patel) also stood out with her sustainable home linens, exemplifying the beauty of slow fashion.
Ceramics took the spotlight as well, with sculptural works by MSN Pottery Studio (Manpreet Singh) and Kalabindu Ceramic Studios (Goutham Vavilala), offering a modern take on traditional pottery methods while staying mindful of environmental impacts.
The event also featured fine canvas paintings by artists Padma Reddy and Rajeshwara Rao, alongside Studio Dragonfly’s (Nehal Raanch) thought-provoking artworks. High-end ceramic tableware by Abaca Studio (Mohammed & Rasheeda) and regenerative textile creations by Soft Story (Sangita Khalsa) completed the eclectic, sustainability-driven collection.
One of the highlights of the event was the unveiling of an intricate woodwork installation by Yamin Mustafa Mohiuddin. His regenerative design, crafted entirely from sustainably sourced wood, captivated the audience and demonstrated the possibilities of eco-conscious art.
Beyond celebrating artistry, the event also served as an educational platform. Over 250 students from NIFT Hyderabad and Hamstech were invited for a guided walk-through led by the artists themselves, providing young designers with valuable insights into sustainable design practices.
The day wrapped up with an evening gathering, where a soulful Sitar recital set the stage for creative networking, igniting a dialogue on the importance of regenerative art in shaping sustainable futures.
