 “The Cinderella” is not about the person but rather the quest “From Ashes to Asha”. Cinderella literally means “of the ashes” and all the waste materials in this junkyard are
the “ashes”. “Asha” has a wealth of meanings like happiness, hope, truth and life. Thus,
we would like to bring you on a journey from lifelessness into life, much like in the “fairy-tale” Cinderella, where an ordinary pumpkin was transformed into something truly astounding. That is our passion, the rebirth of ordinary forgotten objects, stories and even people.
This rebirth, however, cannot take place without the spirit that empowers us to pursue our passions. It is this pure, indomitable spirit forged in a crucible of trying ordeals that brings all this potential to fruition. This very spirit compels us to soar to the highest heavens and thus can be aptly represented in the idea of flight.
Welcome, to “The Cinderella” where forgotten ashes of disappointment will be reborn and converted into “Asha”.
