We spend an awful lot of time near our fridge — hoping some ice cream will magically appear inside when we need it the most. But as tempting as a fridge’s contents are, there is no reason the outside should look drab and boring either. And what better way to jazz it up than with fridge magnets?
The good ol’ magnets are as versatile as ever. And now, you can go for some themed pieces, text magnets and even some statement picks that remind you of your hometown. Here are some options that’ll put a smile on your face every time you look at your fridge — even if there’s no dessert in it...
NoodledoodlebyRB
Kolkata artist Roshni Bhattacharya’s brand NoodledoodlebyRB is known for quirky illustrations that stir up the Bangali in you. From captions like ‘Baba Boddo Gorom’ to ‘Light Fan kay off korbe?’, her illustrations are relatable and capture the essence of every Bengali household.
Her fridge magnets are centred around Bengali quirks. “The magnets are great collectables. They are more like artworks you can put on your fridge. The idea is to create something to the point, with fine details. The captions and colours play an important role. As my main themes are characters and people, it gets easier on a smaller scale,” shares Roshni.
