Mumbai Mother-Son Duo Creates Eco-Friendly Art and Furniture

In the bustling city of Mumbai, Naomi and Yohann Pereira, a mother-son team, have embarked on a remarkable journey with “The Druid’s Garden.” Established in 2018, their venture is a celebration of creativity, sustainability, and a deep connection with the environment. The core ethos of The Druid’s Garden revolves around crafting unique and functional homeware products using exclusively reclaimed, recycled, and upcycled materials.

Their product range encompasses an array of items, from mosaic art, wooden creations, and rustic furniture to planters, cabinets, tables, mirrors, benches, and more. These environmentally-conscious pieces have found their way into hotels, hospitals, organizations, and individual homes.

Naomi’s artistic journey began in her thirties, inspired by nature and a desire to give discarded items a new life. Her mosaic art is a testament to her passion for nature-based themes, and she takes a hands-on approach to her work, collecting broken tiles and crafting them into exquisite designs. The duo’s commitment to sustainability extends to the materials they use, such as driftwood and recycled timber, while minimizing waste and employing eco-friendly practices.

Intriguingly, The Druid’s Garden specializes in mosaic art, a rare genre in India. They have strived to elevate mosaic art from being solely associated with tiling chips to being recognized as a versatile form of expression, gracing indoor spaces as wall art, murals, and unique decor.

While their mosaic art is visually striking, it’s their driftwood creations that truly captivate, with each piece boasting a unique history and character. Driftwood undergoes a meticulous process of cleaning and protection before being transformed into lamps, tables, benches, and more.
