Form, Function, and Desire is a graduation project developed in collaboration with Klove Studio, New Delhi, combining hand-blown glass with emotional storytelling. Rooted in the ideas of form, function, and desire, the collection includes pebble-inspired drinkware, table lamps, and a mountain candle, designed to engage human senses, memory, and spatial experience. The project explores how organic forms influence material expression and the emotional language of functional objects. The drinkware reimagines traditional glassware through asymmetrical, tactile curves inspired by river stones, while the table lamp, crafted from layered glass and metal, emits a soft glow reminiscent of light reflecting on water, evoking calm and introspection. Aligned with Klove Studio’s philosophy, the project emphasizes craftsmanship, material integrity, and thoughtful colour, material, and finish strategies. The collection reflects a luxury aesthetic while positioning everyday objects as emotionally resonant companions rooted in nature.
