Detailed Description

Bamboo is rich, eco-friendly, and a sustainable material. This project aims to reposition bamboo in ‘Table Lamps’ in the present market scenario. It started with looking at various table lamps and finding segments where bamboo could be introduced. Bamboo craft was looked at closely to understand the various aspects of it. New forms and processes were explored in the coil technique. Lamps were designed using the newly generated forms. The overall goal of the project is the production of craft objects with an industrial discipline while maintaining craft variety and richness.
