Wearable Products - music player - The project aims at the integration of digital technologies with contemporary fashion and focuses on the opposing notions of fashion accessory and a gadget. Here the gadget is not treated as just another product but as one that reflects the person.
What a person wears is a loud assertion on his individuality. It also reflects the person’s interests and helps enhance his personal attributes. Jewellery has established itself as a defining signifier of social status, categories and the power relationships within it. However the power an object has, particularly the one that is worn on and around the body, has advanced the medium of jewellery from this traditional role.
Lifestyle Products - The targeted user belongs to the upper middle class family, an advocate of the good life, a person of socializing nature. The project tries to invoke in the beholder reminiscence of a rich craft tradition and not looking into any particular craft practice. The exclusivity of the materials is used to come up with unique products. Combination of different materials like wood and metal are tried to generate visual curiosity and provide tactile sensations to the user.
Product Possibilities in Cola Palm Leaves - Leaves of cola palm tree with its characteristic and distinct texture attracts everybodys. The project is a quest on whether these unused materials could be used to make products that could fit into a craft production base.
A series of experiments were conducted to test and understand the properties of the material and to specify the strengths and limitations of various processes that could be used in the processing of this material. Different methods of value addition were tried out through dyeing and embossing; different joinery were also tried out on the leaves.
