Almost every Indian household has trunks stowed under beds or stashed away in the attic or dumped in a garage. In a basic, boring shade of grey, these (mostly) Army-issue foot lockers are functional and far outlive their original purpose, eventually winding up in an out-of-sight corner of the home.
Now, thanks to a makeover by A Hundred Hands, a non-profit trust in Bengaluru, these trunks are now enjoying a second lease of life in the limelight as centrepieces in many a home.
