Borrowed Earth Turns Natural Materials Into Architectural Works of Art

Borrowed Earth Collaborative, founded by Ruchika Grover, accentuates the natural materials and beauty found on our planet through artistically transformed stone tiles, panels, and bricks. The surfaces, for use by interior designers and architects, capture the asymmetry and complexity of the material while telling a story that helps create awareness.

These pure, natural materials are indeed borrowed, with the brand realizing the responsibilities it owes its resources. New technology and traditional mediums are used with care and consideration so as not to mutilate nature. To that end, even the remnant materials are turned into artistic shapes and surfaces in the form of bricks.
