Design ni Dukaan Preserves + Celebrates Craft in Roop Aroop
"From tabletop objects to more grand home furnishings, the things that fill our home have a cumulative effect on how we feel as well as the perception of our personal space. With intention at their core, the Ahmedabad-based, interdisciplinary design studio Design ni Dukkan blends human intuition with distinct materiality and finish to create such pieces with the power of presence."
"This flat-packed chair is an exercise in precision and modular thinking - a system of construction that forgoes welding in favor of complex joinery, held together by allen keys. Made from teakwood and solid milled brass, with brass pipes serving as structural connectors, the chair is envisioned as a kit of parts. And with elegant proportions, the contrasting, delicate brass detailing paired with solid forms for the seat and back find their centering along a symmetrical axis, beautifully mirroring itself."
Roop Aroop is a cohesive collection of seven furniture and home objects that blend traditional Indian craft with contemporary materials and forms. Design ni Dukkan collaborates with RaasLeela Textile and Majja Design Studio to reinterpret Sujani quilting and Pathamadai pai weaving in modern compositions. The collection interweaves teakwood, brass, and tactile textiles, emphasizing handcraft precision and material contrast. One piece is a flat-packed chair employing complex joinery and solid milled brass connectors to create a kit-like assembly with floating armrests. Other works, such as the Rafiq ni Sujani Partition and Beevi Pai Swing, merge decorative embroidery and woven techniques with structural experimentation.
