In the heart of Kerala's lush landscapes, where paddy fields once stretched like green carpets under the monsoon skies, a quiet revolution is taking root. At Kochattante Kolayi, we've launched "Paddy in Pot" – an initiative that's more than just a gardening trend. It's a heartfelt call to bring our agricultural heritage back into our everyday lives, one pot at a time. The Essence of Paddy in Pot When we conceived Paddy in Pot, it was never merely about planting rice in a container. It was about reclaiming a piece of our vanishing fields and integrating them into our homes – whether in sunlit courtyards, cozy verandahs, or urban balconies. In a world where concrete is overtaking our farmlands, this simple act becomes a powerful statement. Each pot holds not just soil and seeds, but the stories of our land: the rhythmic sway of golden stalks during harvest, the nourishment that has sustained generations, and the cultural heritage that defines us as Keralites. ...

Long before the Wright brothers left the ground, and centuries before we spoke of drones and anti-gravity tech, India imagined a flying chariot that could think, expand, and glide through the sky like a breeze. It was called Pushpaka Vimanam. This wasn’t a piece of science fiction. It was described in rich detail in one of India’s oldest epics—the Ramayana—as a marvel of celestial engineering, divine architecture, and poetic design. At Idea Factory, we celebrate imagination with intent. And Pushpaka Vimanam stands as a timeless symbol of how ancient India saw no boundary between science, story, spirit, and sky. 🛕 A Chariot That Listened to Thought In the Yuddha Kanda of the Ramayana, Pushpaka is more than just a flying vehicle. It’s a floating palace gifted by the gods. Built by Vishwakarma, passed to Kubera, seized by Ravana, and later used by Rama—it could expand to host armies, fly without pilots, and respond to the rider’s thoughts. It was said to shimmer with gold, bejeweled with...

At IdeaFactory, we love when ideas leap out of the ordinary—and Saloorappoyka is exactly that kind of leap. What began as a simple thought—“What if a pond could be a frog?”—turned into one of Satva Designs’ most playful and talked-about landscaping experiments. Saloorappoyka isn’t just a water feature; it’s a character. A large, friendly frog sculpted into the land, its wide mouth open in welcome, its tongue imagined as the water body itself. This project wasn’t about form alone. It was about feeling. How do you take something small, even slightly intimidating—like a frog—and scale it up without losing its charm? How do you make it lovable, interactive, and full of personality? That was the design challenge. And the result is a pond that smiles back. Visitors can sit on the edge of the frog’s mouth, dangle their feet into the cool, reflective water, and momentarily step into a world where nature and imagination blend seamlessly. Keep your legs inside the pond and you might even get a ...
