Contemporary design meets traditional craft
From Amman with love
Modern city life with hand-embroidered details.
Take a tour of Amman
Looking at the throw and the cushion covers by Jordan-based designer Tania Haddad is like taking a tour of the old part of Amman. Here are the water tanks, the laundry lines, the satellite dishes and the oasis of greenery that characterise the bustling city. The hand-embroidered details are made by skilled artisans working for Jordan River Foundation – a social business that creates jobs for Jordanian women and women refugees in the region.
Modern-day Delhi meets traditional India
Handmade textiles with a contemporary twist.
A modern take on traditional shapes
The pattern on the handwoven wool rug takes its cue from the matka, a pot traditionally used as a home water cooler, and the organic forms and curves that can be seen everywhere in India. “The idea was to take a traditional motif and give it a modern expression”, says designer Akanksha Deo.
Handmade and outstanding
The elevated figure on the cushion cover is made with a traditional hand tufting technique. Each item is handmade by skilled female weavers in the Uttar Pradesh region, meaning that no two products are identical.
Wool for the win
All LOKALT rugs are handwoven in wool – a material that tends to outshine the competition. Why? Well, it’s sustainable, renewable, durable and beautiful (just to mention something).
A lampshade with a mission
No two LOKALT lampshades or baskets are identical. How do we know that? They are made from banana bark, a fibre with natural colour variations, and they are made by hand. Even better – they are made by women artisans working for Industree, an Indian social entrepreneur that provides long-term livelihoods where it’s most needed.
Designed in Bangkok – made in Doi Tung
Fusing contemporary Thai design with traditional handicraft.
Brimful of great traditions
Sharing meals brings family and friends together and is an essential part of Thai culture. With that and the rich Thai history of ceramic artefacts as their starting point, THINKK studio designed a set of two bowls, a vase and a plate. Each item is handmade by artisans working for the social entrepreneur Doi Tung DP that creates jobs for villagers and the tribal groups in Northern Thailand.
Showing off the craft
Thanks to their skills and input on the designs, the artisans are vital for the collection. Here, the handmade element is emphasized by the finger imprints left on the surface – making each item unique.
Handle with respect
The LOKALT vase, plate and bowls all have two handles which reflect an old tradition. “Thai people are known for treating their elders and guests with utmost courtesy. When you offer something or accept it, it’s customary to do it with both hands as a sign of respect”, says designer Decha Archjananun.
Brand-new rug with a history
This wool rug, handwoven by Indian artisans, is inspired by the traditional Indian kantha embroidery. “The curved shapes that look like enlarged kantha embroidery is, in fact, part of the woven design”, says designer Akanksha Deo.
