Lantana is an invasive plant that is spoiling the Indian ecosystem it destroys local flaura and funa tribal communities have been making things from it for about 8 years now . My input came in terms of design and development of technology .I worked with the craftsman for a period of six months and These are the results of that venture. We experimented with the finishes colours etc . I gave inputs interms of design Erganomics and I also played an active role in the workshops with the actual making of the products. The whole effort has been recieved well and this plays a role at the grass roots where i believe with the intervention of design a craft will succeed in meeting the user and market demands within 24 hours of the furniture being displayed four orders were placed and over 200 people came to see the products being exhibited I hope there are many more orders to come.
