INDIA BY DESIGN
India’s identity is rooted in its centuries-old traditions, yet it is also a dynamic, forward-looking nation. From architecture and fashion to tech and product design, the influence of Indian art, history, and spiritual traditions will permeate design concepts worldwide. Here’s how designers can incorporate India into their work.
1. Traditional Craftsmanship Meets Modern Design
India is known for its intricate craftsmanship, whether it’s the embroideries of Kashmir, the handwoven textiles of Gujarat, or the block prints of Rajasthan. Designers can bring these traditional skills into their work by collaborating with local artisans or drawing inspiration from these techniques. By merging ancient crafts with contemporary aesthetics, designers can create innovative products that honour the past while embracing the future.
