Design Art

You can find us at Gala Number 12 in Pathanwadi, which is very close to the Badi Masjid in Malad East. It’s a very busy and crowded neighborhood, with lots of small workshops and homes all mixed together. Our place is on the ground floor, which makes it easy to move materials in and out. We do a lot of work with signboards and vinyl cutting. It involves a lot of manual labor, like peeling away the extra vinyl after the machine has cut it. Those little scraps end up everywhere, and we have to sweep the floor several times a day. It’s not a very clean environment, but it’s where we work. We’ve been in this gala for a good number of years. We usually keep the big front door open so we get some air, because the machines and the fans don't always keep it cool enough. We don't have any air conditioning here. Most of our customers are local people who need something for their own small shops. They come to us because they know we are right here in the neighborhood. We don't have a salesperson or anyone to answer the phones. If you come in, you just talk to whoever is free at the moment. We don't spend any money on ads for ourselves. We just do the work as it comes and try to get it done by the time we promised.
