Coconut shell has been used as a material to make various cooking accessories for many years. Coconut shell is a hard, durable and, more importantly, a natural material. There are other materials which are also associated with the use of coconut shell, like bamboo and various types of wood. People have been using various products made of coconut shell, bamboo and wood in their kitchen for many years. All those products are mainly referred to as craft products because they are handcrafted by the craftsmen. But today the demand for these products has gone down because of various reasons. The focus area of this project is to look at how we can develop new designs and reposition the craft products to a higher market segment and how this can lead to the betterment of the coconut shell and bamboo craft community and the livelihood of the craftsmen. There are two major aspects to it. The primary aspect is developing new designs and repositioning these to a higher market segment. In order to do that, we have to look at various aspects like the materials and techniques, aesthetics, usability, and manufacturing of these products. All these aspects are very important and need to be scrutinised from two perspectives: one as a craftsman and the other as a user. As craftsmen, it is important that the design is doable and easy for them to manufacture. And as a user, it is important that the product is usable and aesthetically appealing to them. The second aspect is the manufacturing. To be able to manufacture it by the craftsmen, they must undergo training. This will enable them to learn new design ideas and techniques, which will help them in the long run.
