Shweta’s desk is never without a notebook- filled with sketches, fragments of ideas, colour references, thoughts from travels, observations from everyday life. And, inevitably, a little of her beloved dog-Ponyo’s fur. For her, the analogue and the instinctive have always come first; no matter how digital life becomes, she returns to pen and paper, to the slow accumulation of detail that eventually becomes a collection.
Growing up in the mountains of Uttarakhand taught her early that not everything can be controlled or rushed. At her brand SWGT, that understanding runs through everything- the slow processes, the handcraft, the working relationship with artisans and natural materials and the willingness to let each piece evolve on its own terms.
“The mountains remind us to create thoughtfully, tread lightly, and stay connected to the people, traditions, and landscapes that shape us.” - Shweta
