Automotive Textile

For a design project with General Motors, we had to create designs for automotive textiles taking inspiration from traditional Indian textiles. Our group took Basketry and Sujuni textiles of Bihar as the inspiration and came up with paper concepts which were eventually transformed into woven samples.
