Vani Malhotra

Aekyem

Milan, ITALY

Born and raised in India, Vani discovered her natural talent for design at an early age. Her creative journey led her to pursue a degree in Footwear Design at the London College of Fashion, where she refined her skills and embraced a new cultural perspective.

In 2016, Vani moved to Italy to pursue a Master's degree in Accessories Design at the prestigious Istituto Marangoni.

This rich blend of influences set her on a transformative path, leading to the launch of her home decor brand, Aekyem in 2025.

Inspired by the traditional Paper Mâché craft of Kashmir, her work reflects a harmonious fusion of India’s cultural heritage, where she was born, and Europe’s artistic sensibilities, where she now lives.

La valeur dans les détails

Turning waste into art

Vani breathes new life into discarded paper and paint, turning waste into art. The process begins by softening paper into a rich, clay-like pulp, carefully moulding it into unique forms. The process can take from 6 - 12 hours, depending on the product. Handmade with love, each piece reflects sustainability, creativity, and the magic of renewal.
