The project delves into the intricate relationship between materials and lighting, aiming to craft innovative thematic designer lighting collections tailored for the Indian market. By exploring a diverse range of materials including natural, synthetic, and biocomposites, the project seeks to challenge conventional boundaries, emphasising sustainability and mindful practices. Through hands-on experimentation, collaboration with skilled artisans, and a deep understanding of cultural and market dynamics, the project aspires to create lighting designs that are both aesthetically striking and functionally versatile. The outcome will celebrate the interplay of form, materiality, and illumination, offering unique solutions that resonate with contemporary Indian sensibilities while addressing environmental and design challenges.
