To mark the Golden Jubilee celebrations, Delhi Crafts Council specially curated an exhibition ‘Crafting Design for Living Spaces’. The exhibition explored the intersection of modern design and traditional hand skills in the specific context of designing for living spaces. DCC’s objective through this creative collaboration was to energize and provide critical new directions to artisans in order to take their work to a much wider platform and to help bring it into the realm of mainstream design.
All the products on display at the exhibition were designed keeping the artisan at the center of the process where the imperatives and indisputable strengths of hand skills can be highlighted and recognized. There was active collaboration of designers and architects who have worked in a sustained manner with artisans over the years. Furniture, installations, lighting fixtures and floor coverings were some of the products that were specially designed for the exhibition
