Kala Curry Radio at Bae & Bee's Studio

Two designers, one dream, and a thousand memories molded into miniature escapes. Jayesh & Aaditi’s handcrafted pieces are stories disguised as décor.

1. Tell us a little about yourself—who you are, what you do, and how art became a part of your journey.

Hi, we’re Jayesh and Aaditi—art lovers at heart and co-creators of Bae & Bee Studio.

Us as a VFX artist and a landscape architect—we’ve always expressed art in our own ways. But as we stepped into marriage, we realized that the biggest commitment we wanted to make wasn’t just as husband and wife, but as teammates first.

We dreamt of spending more time together, cooking, creating, and building something meaningful side by side. Out of those moments—between coffee breaks and clay spills—Bae & Bee Studio was born.

2. Art isn’t just something we see—it’s something we live with. How does art seep into your daily life? And what does art mean to you?

To us, art isn’t just what we make—it's how we connect, how we communicate, and how we grow. It's also what binds us. And we always look forward to creative challenges which is more like an adventure wrapped in concrete, color, and a whole lot of heart & art.

3. Why do you think handcrafted art matters today more than ever?

In a world that's moving faster than ever, handcrafted art invites us to slow down. It holds emotion, intention, and a human touch that mass-produced things can’t replicate. Today, when everything feels a little too digital or distant, handcrafted pieces remind us of connection—between the maker and the material, the gift and the giver, the story and the space it lives in. It’s not just about owning something beautiful; it’s about owning something meaningful. 

4. How many years have you been practicing this craft?

It’s been 2 years now that we have been creating this miniature art.

5. What makes an artist an artist? (like who can call themselves an artist/what counts as being an artist)

We believe art is a natural instinct—alive in all of us. It takes countless forms,  felt and expressed differently by every individual. From doodling to sculpting, dancing to designing, cooking to gardening—art shows up wherever curiosity lives. An artist doesn’t just create; they notice. They feel. They find beauty in the details most people overlook. All it really takes is an open mind, a keen eye, and the courage to explore what moves you.

6. What does being an artist/brand that sells art mean to you? 

For us, being artists and building a brand that sells art means sharing a piece of ourselves with the world. Every creation carries a story, an emotion, or a memory—ours or someone else’s. It’s more than just making things look pretty; it’s about creating something that connects, comforts, or simply makes someone smile. We love when customers see their own meaning in our work or ask us to bring their ideas to life. That connection, that shared spark, is what makes it special. It’s not just about selling art—it’s about making something that feels personal, thoughtful, and just right for them.

7. How long does it usually take to create one piece from start to finish?

We create pieces in a variety of sizes and styles—some are rich in tiny details, while others are more minimal. Because of this, the time needed to make each product can vary. On average, it takes us around 4 days per piece, including the essential drying time.

8. What drew you to the medium(s) you work with?

We’ve always given equal importance to durability, functionality, and aesthetics. Concrete and wood felt like the perfect fit—both are strong, timeless, and full of character. Concrete, especially, allows us to play—it’s sturdy yet versatile. We can drill into it, layer textures, and add miniature elements right onto its surface. It gives us the freedom to customise each piece and explore new ideas with every creation.

9. How do you see art products being perceived in an Indian market?

Through the response we’ve received on social media and at the pop-up events we’ve been part of, one thing has been clear—people are drawn to the aesthetic and charm of our pieces. The idea of combining miniature art with planters is still quite new to many, but it's being met with curiosity and appreciation.

Many people are used to associating size or utility with price, so the idea of investing in small, detail-rich art—like our miniature planters—can take time to settle in. And we get it—miniature art often hides the time, technique, and detail it takes to bring it to life.

What’s been especially exciting is the wave of customisation requests we’ve received—many inspired by international artists. These not only add meaning for our customers but also challenge us creatively, helping us grow and explore beyond our comfort zone.

10. Is there a song that captures the spirit of your work or something you love listening to while creating?

There isn’t one single song—it really depends on the mood in the studio that day. But if we had to describe the kind of music that resonates with us and our work, it would be something quirky yet soothing. It could be from timeless classics like – “main zindagi ka saath nibhaata chala gaya” to “Hall of Fame”.

11. Your story began with decorating your own home. How did that personal journey shape your design philosophy at Bae & Bee Studio?

We were always on the lookout for unique décor—something that truly matched our aesthetic and vibe. While we came across some lovely pieces, nothing ever felt quite complete. That’s when we decided to make our own. Our very first planter was a DIY experiment—crafted out of a McCafé carton box for a lonely little shelf at home. It was messy, imperfect, but full of heart. That café planter became the prototype for everything we make today—simple, earthy, durable, minimal yet rich in detail. It gave our shelf a sense of character, especially when paired with a tiny plant and quiet evening coffee breaks. That feeling—it stayed with us. And we knew right then, this wasn’t just décor. It was an experience, that we believed others deserved too. That’s how the idea of Bae & Bee Studio truly came to life.

12. Many of your pieces, like the mushroom tealight houses and miniature café planters, evoke a sense of comfort. What inspires the cozy, storybook-like aesthetic that runs through your work?

We’ve always been drawn to spaces and objects that feel like little escapes—things that spark a smile, a memory, or a sense of childlike wonder. Our inspiration comes from quiet corners, handwritten notes, cute houses, slow evenings, old cafés, and the comfort of everyday rituals. We love blending nostalgia with nature, and that’s what shapes our storybook-like aesthetic. Whether it’s a tiny mushroom house or a café planter, we want each piece to feel like a soft pause in someone’s day—a cozy moment frozen in time. It’s about creating not just décor, but a feeling of being home, no matter where it sits.

13. You work together as a husband-wife duo. How do you balance creative roles and decision-making in the studio? Do you each bring different strengths to the table?

When it comes to creative decisions, it’s always a conversation. Sometimes we agree instantly, sometimes we debate (for days, over the same issue!), but the goal is always to arrive at what feels right for the piece and the brand. We’ve learned to trust each other’s instincts and lean into our differences—they often lead to our most unique ideas. At the heart of it, we’re a team first, and that balance keeps the studio buzzing with creativity.

14. Nature clearly plays a huge role in your design sensibility. How do you bring nature into your creative process while still keeping your designs modern and urban-friendly?

Nature has always been our biggest muse—it inspires the textures we use, the forms we love, and the calm we try to bring into each piece. But we’re also deeply rooted in the realities of modern, often compact urban living. So, our goal is to create designs that carry the essence of nature—organic forms, earthy palettes, raw textures—but in a way that feels functional and at home in contemporary spaces.

Whether it’s a tiny café planter for a balcony or a mushroom tealight for a reading nook, we try to bring a little piece of the outdoors in—without overwhelming the space. It’s all about balance: earthy yet minimal, detailed yet compact. A quiet reminder of nature, even in the busiest city corners.
