Aculmination of years of learning, collecting and making, the exhibitionunfolds through fragments of observation gathered over time. An illustratedbotany book of flowers, the rhythm of Madras checks, and thecolours, textures and visual language encountered in everyday life becomepoints of departure, gradually distilled into a contemporary collection offurniture and objects.Rather than arriving fully formed, each idea evolves through the knowledgeof many hands. Passing through workshops, craft traditions and materialdisciplines, it gathers new perspectives while remaining true to its originalidea. Rooted embraces the nuances of handcraft, where time, material andmaking leave their imprint on every object.Rooted is a celebration of Indian making, revealing a creativelandscape where people, materials and craft traditions continue toshape contemporary design.
