A family practice

FROM CHENNAI TO THE STUDIO

Hi, I’m Aditi.

I grew up returning to Chennai each summer to study Carnatic violin. The jasmine, the music, the feeling of being home—those memories stayed with me.

ADITI® is how I give them a form you can bring home. I make candles with my family in New Jersey and develop new work in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Our signature gold labels are screen-printed by artisans in Chennai.
