A person with dark shoulder-length hair, wearing a cream-colored long-sleeve shirt and pants, stands with their back to the camera, holding a blank beige square board behind their lower back in a room with warm brown walls.

Alter exists to offer a controlled material language, one rooted in composition, not surface coverage.

Where It All Began.

Our co-founder grew up near stone quarries in western India, surrounded by flooring, yet disconnected from the ground beneath it. The sheer volume of waste generated by the stone industry wasn’t just visible, it was structural. Alter was born from that tension, as a way to work with what’s left behind. A surface studio that gives waste new form, architectural, designed, and deliberate.
