From the depths of ancient quarries to the forefront of sustainable design, Ruchika Grover has turned stone into a canvas for both art and innovation. Her journey began at just 14, traveling with her father, a marble trader, and developing an early fascination with natural stone’s unique textures and stories. Today, she leads Borrowed Earth Collaborative, a design studio that marries traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create architectural art and installations that celebrate the raw beauty of the natural world.
With a commitment to sustainability, Grover’s latest collection, Borrowed Earth Objects, transforms discarded stone remnants into elegant serveware, sculptural pieces, and games—ensuring that no material goes to waste. This new direction not only showcases her artistic vision but also reinforces her belief that natural stone, in all its perfect imperfection, can be both luxurious and eco-conscious. Ruchika’s work is a masterclass in balancing artistry with environmental responsibility, pushing the boundaries of design while honoring the earth from which her materials are born.
