The brief for this project was to work with archives of woven materials. An extensive study of existing material resources was conducted to make an innovative handloom product range. The project also involved developing designs for hand-woven floor coverings by exploring weaves, constructions and materials and that would cater to the European and North American markets.

The first brief was to develop a new range for West Elm Spring/Summer 2012. After going through the mood board provided by the client, another mood board was developed, and the idea to forecast a new design for their range of floor coverings came up.

The second project dealt with creating samples for the collection for Habitat for Spring/ Summer ’12. The client’s specification laid much stress on the colour and weaves. The V-weave collection, thus, comprises products, which have a crafty touch of weaves, and combine irregular colours in the right proportion (in terms of amount and numbers).

The third project aimed to create a sample collection for Crate and Barrel Spring/Summer ’12. This client encouraged me to experiment with bright colours and chunky weaves. The use of highly contrasting colours, experimentation with yarns and interpretations of natural textures make this collection look very fresh.

For the final project, I had to create samples based on the understanding¬ of the client’s need, after exposure to handloom-weaving and new design innovations. Two separate inspiration boards were created, woven and knit for the textures and techniques and two more were made for forms and colours respectively. Many of these samples lead to the development of other looks as well. It is a process where one design leads to the creation of a new design.
