The Story Behind Our Logo: A Tribute to Heritage, Home, and Identity

At House of Saaj, every element of our brand carries meaning—from our name and logo to the colors we use. Together, they tell a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and the warmth of home. More than just a brand, House of Saaj is a movement—to preserve, promote, and share the rich heritage arts and crafts of India with the world in a ritual way, slow and intentional.

Inspired by the Alphabet ‘Sa’ in Devanagari

At the heart of our logo lies the Devanagari letter ‘Sa’ (स)—the first syllable of Saaj. Devanagari script is primarily used by Sanskrit, Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi languages. This isn’t just a design choice; it’s a tribute to the script that has preserved India’s artistic and linguistic traditions for centuries. By embedding this letter into our identity, we honor the deep cultural roots that inspire every handcrafted piece we curate.

The Lines That Tell a Story

Look closely, and you’ll see how SAAJ sits seamlessly on the line that stretches across the ‘Sa’—symbolizing the bridge between tradition and modern living. This line represents continuity, just as our work ensures that India’s heritage crafts remain relevant in contemporary homes.

Another defining element of our logo is our tagline, ‘Bringing India to You.’ It isn’t just placed alongside the design—it becomes a part of it. The very lines that form the ‘Sa’ shape also weave in our mission, reinforcing our commitment to making India’s artistic legacy accessible to homes worldwide. The logo was designed by Kannagi Anaggh Desai, who also thought of our tagline ‘Bringing India to you’.

Why “House” of Saaj?

The word House is intentional. A house is a structure, but a home is built with warmth, stories, and meaningful objects. We want our handcrafted pieces to be more than decor—we want them to be storytellers, carrying the soul of India’s heritage into your home.

And this is where Heritage to Heirloom comes in.

To us, this phrase is not just a pillar of our brand—it’s a promise. A promise that what begins as a heritage art form, often created in quiet corners of rural India, can evolve into an heirloom cherished for generations. Each item we curate holds the potential to become a future keepsake—something your children or grandchildren will one day hold, asking about the story behind it.

When you bring a piece from House of Saaj into your space, it transforms from a house into a home, filled with culture, artistry, and timeless tradition. Our goal is to create that feeling of belonging, of nostalgia, of connection—because heritage is not just about the past; it is about how it lives on in our everyday lives.

The Meaning Behind Our Colors

Just as our designs are intentional, so are the colors we’ve chosen for our branding and website. Earthy tones like brown, beige, and muted neutrals define our aesthetic, reflecting the raw beauty of nature and the organic materials that artisans have used for centuries.

These colors are more than just a visual choice—they symbolize the very foundation of heritage craftsmanship. They remind us of the rich brown of terracotta pottery, the deep ochre of Phad paintings, the warm hues of handwoven textiles, and the aged patina of brass artifacts. They are the colors of India’s artistic soul—timeless, rooted, and full of stories.

Through this palette, we bring the essence of nature, heritage, and craftsmanship into everything we do, ensuring that each piece feels as authentic as the traditions it represents.

Our Mission: Preserving & Promoting India’s Heritage Arts

At House of Saaj, we are committed to keeping the legacy of India’s generational artisans alive. Our mission goes beyond selling products—we strive to:

Every time you see it, we hope you recognize not just a brand, but a movement—one that keeps the spirit of Indian heritage arts and crafts alive across generations and geographies.

Because at House of Saaj, every piece has a story, and every story has the power to go from Heritage to Heirloom.
