P•TAL has unveiled SuRu, a handcrafted Kansa (bronze) dinner set for children aged 0–7 years, developed in collaboration with actors Nakuul Mehta and Jankee Parekh. Titled 'The First and Forever set', the collection is designed to bring together heritage craftsmanship, functionality and emotional value, creating an heirloom intended to stay with families beyond childhood.
Crafted by the Thatheras of Jandiala Guru, Punjab—India's only UNESCO-recognised Intangible Cultural Heritage metalcraft practitioners—the collection is made from pure Kansa, an Ayurvedic alloy of copper and tin. Designed for young children learning to self-feed, the set features a lightweight bowl and spoon, rounded edges, a silicone base for stability and personalised name engraving.
The launch also includes hand-engraved illustrations across the dinnerware and a musical card featuring the 'SuRu Fullaby Mealtime Rhyme', sung by Jankee Parekh, to make mealtimes more engaging and memorable.
Speaking about the collaboration, Nakuul Mehta and Jankee Parekh shared, "Becoming parents changes the way you look at everyday objects. You begin to think deeply about what your child touches, grows up with, and eventually remembers. With SuRu, we wanted to create something that felt intentional, safe, and emotionally lasting.
Kansa (Bronze) carries such a beautiful sense of heritage, and the idea that Sufi & Rumi could one day look back at this set as part of their childhood made the collaboration incredibly meaningful for us. SuRu is not just about feeding a child; it’s about creating rituals, memories, and small moments of togetherness that stay with a family forever.“
Aditya Agrawal, Co-Founder of P•TAL, added: “At P•TAL, we have always believed that the objects we live with should carry meaning beyond utility. SuRu represents that philosophy in one of its most intimate forms. Collaborating with Nakuul and Jankee felt incredibly organic because the intention behind the product came from a real parental emotion, the desire to give children something enduring in a world filled with disposable consumption. Through the craftsmanship of the Thatheras and the timelessness of Kansa (bronze), SuRu becomes more than a dinner set; it becomes an heirloom designed to hold memory, culture, and care across generations.“
