About the guest:
Anu Tandon Vieira Textile Designer Founder of The Retyrement Plan, Mumbai @theretyrementplan Anu Tandon Vieira is a graduate in Sculpture, with a Post Graduate degree in Textiles from National Institute of Design (NID). She is passionate about designing sustainable,comfortable and exquisitely hand-crafted furniture by repurposing material waste from urban jungles. The Retyrement Plan (Mumbai,India) from Vieira is a range of occasional furniture pieces using discarded tyres of all shapes and sizes, cane and bamboo, woven over with ropes twisted out of tailoring waste and in shimmering plastic wrapper waste. “Having worked on a range of market driven projects for over 25 years, as a designer, I started feeling the need to, in some way, use my experience and expertise in making a difference, to my environment and this eventually led to the conception of The Retyrement Plan” "I believe that a good design can be sustainable and relevant, only if the person translating it can relate to it and contribute to it's improvisation and innovation. I would, in my own small way, want to be the change I want to see."
