About Kassa
Introduction
Kassa literally translates to ‘House of two’. Living up to its name, Kassa was founded in 2013 by two like-minded contemporary artists, Aarushi and Arpan. By discovering a space between art and design, Kassa seeks exclusivity in natural beauty + upcycling and recycling concepts.
Brand Story
Kassa is the brainchild of Aarushi and Arpan, the husband-wife duo who share a passion for design. The idea was born years back in 2011 when they both decided to work with each other after realizing that they are a perfect fix when it comes to creating an art/design together. After having completed their masters in the field of design and achieving a professional experience in the same, the creative duo decisively got back together to create “Kassa”. The brand helped them explore various design possibilities that they had a fascination for. Thus, they designed leather & Eco-friendly goods and accessories, Sculptural jewellery, Stationery, Graphics, Illustrations, Furniture, Website design and Photography.

Tessellated designs on leather with laser cut pieces have made a novel entry in the designs produced at Kassa. The brand makes use of antique and natural leather, drum dried versus processed leather for products and new buck for Oxfords and Ballerinas. Few artists make products, but art is not high in demand. Collective Craft has therefore brought the craft experience into a product range.

Editor’s Pick
1. ORIGAMI CLOUD LAMPS
This collection includes bedside lamp, floor lamp, table lamp, pendant lamp (hanging lamp) and wall lamp, inspired by “Origami” which is a Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures. The entire collection has been curated using materials that are not only ECO-FRIENDLY in nature, but also waterproof, tearproof and recyclable. The material looks like paper but it’s not. Thus, we can call it a sustainable and responsible design.
The inspirations behind this collection are clouds, visualized in origami forms. Each form depicts a different cloud, telling a different story.
This collection is curated from eco-friendly paper, marble base and brass fixtures.
2. LEATHER BAGS & ACCESSORIES
Kassa sees exclusivity in natural beauty. The brand only uses genuine leather, therefore the texture of your product may vary slightly. The products at Kassa are all individually handcrafted using the finest leathers, many of which are oil pull-ups and gives the leather a tremendous strength. The leathers have not been corrected with paint to wane its nature, thus making your item unique and unrepeatable. Natural leather absorbs the oils from your hands, and through ageing assumes a classic, worn look.
3. ECO-FRIENDLY ACCESSORIES
– Appeal: This collection looks like a paper but doesn’t tear at all. On the contrary, a small bag can hold up to 10 Kg of weight. So it is light and yet super strong.
– Unique: It is the only bag/shoe/accessory of its kind in India.
– Recyclable: It is curated from 100% recyclable certified material.
– Waterproof: It is waterproof as the liquid doesn’t pass through it but vapour does.
