BRIDGING THE GAP
We designed this piece to celebrate Pride, reflecting our strong belief in equality. Drawing inspiration from the Pride flag and Pride parade, we infused our own fresh, modern take on colors, incorporating rich Pantones from mustard yellow to deep red. The concept emphasizes the blending of colors, symbolizing unity and boldly proclaiming, “We are here to stay.”
The use of burnt clay has been a part of human craftsmanship for thousands of years. While one might expect uniformity in each piece due to the consistent process, every terracotta firing yields delightful surprises—small flaws, unexpected patterns, and unique tonal mixes. This reminds us that, like people, each creation is one-of-a-kind and should be embraced for its individuality. What some may view as imperfections are actually unplanned gems, bringing joy and character to product design.
DESIGNER'S NOTE
”I always look around and regard my practice as a context—what it is and what it can be—ahead of all the firmly functional concerns. Thinking about its civic nature and how that can be enhanced, how the spaces we create can enliven the acquaintance of being there.”
ARJUN S NAMBIAR
Our aim is to bridge the urban-rural divide by fostering connections through thoughtful design and active community engagement. With the dramatic changes in our environment and the increasing use of synthetic materials, people are beginning to realize the value of returning to their roots and embracing handmade and sustainable products. Although this movement is gaining traction, it still requires greater awareness and support from the general public.
We hope this project can be adopted on a larger scale, extending its reach to the local market and encouraging wider acceptance of sensitive, sustainable design.
