Our Story
What are the odds that two women, from vastly different backgrounds and distant parts of the world, would meet — and discover a shared vision?
Our name, formed by blending our own, is said to mean 'as fate would have it.'
Why we
believe the
future is
biobased?
In a time of necessary change, we look to nature for intelligence and answers. Biobased materials offer not only beauty, but resilience and responsibility.

What we do
In our studio we explore how natural fibers (agricultural waste), minerals and binders can become the building blocks of future living environments. Through ongoing experiments, we create lighting and decor that bring warmth, texture and timeless beauty to everyday spaces — each piece made with care, in small limited editions.
A little more on us
One of us grew up in western India, the other in the northern agricultural lands of the Netherlands. Two women from different parts of the world, with different professional backgrounds, drawn together by a shared question: what if materials could be made not from extraction, but from renewal?
It began with long conversations — about nature, design and what it means to create responsibly. From those early questions came experiments in our kitchens and studios: banana-fiber pulp, mineral dust, drying racks, hand tools. We mixed, tested, failed, and began again.
Today, Leeli is a growing materials studio. We've developed our own biobased blends and launched our first collection: sculptural lighting made from agricultural waste and minerals. Our work stays intentionally small-batch, each piece crafted slowly, with care.
We're ready to collaborate with scientists, artisans and design communities to push the potential of biobased materials further. This is just the beginning — because we believe a biobased future isn't a niche, it's necessary.
