Detailed Description

From time immemorial, man has been fascinated by the things that surround him. In all his efforts, he has been trying to conquer the limits of his ignorance. As part of this ongoing process, a lot of materials, both man-made and natural, have been explored and put to use in various fields. The leaves of the Coca-Cola palm tree, with their characteristic and distinct texture, attract anybody’s fascination. The project aims at exploring the possibilities of a craft product that could emerge from the studies of the properties of the material.
