Madras - Coffee & Paper

About this piece

Madras – Coffee & Paper pairs filter coffee with the morning newspaper in textured clay. The artwork celebrates a quiet domestic ritual rather than a landmark, making the magnet feel personal to anyone who associates Chennai mornings with strong coffee and time to read.

The illustration is translated into a textured, hand-crafted clay magnet. Its tactile finish and compact scale make it a small but characterful keepsake for fridges, magnetic boards and workspaces.

Use it to hold a photograph, note or list, or display it as a tiny piece of local art. It makes an easy Chennai gift for hosts, colleagues, travellers and people who miss the city.

The original artwork and product design are by Aishwarya Ashok for Rue Des Arts. Each piece is produced in a small batch, checked in the studio and packed with care for delivery across India.
