Kari - Kalamdani Table Lamp
Kashmir Paper mache or 'Kari-Kalamdani' is a handicraft involving the transformation of paper pulp into intricately decorated artifacts which are sold in abundance in Kashmir.
This beautiful art form is slowly vanishing from the market as selling these are becoming difficult for the artisans. Also, the labour that they put into making these items is not yielding a substantial profit.
The aim of this project was to design a product using modern and simple forms that could be sold in today's market, but yet maintaining the intricacies and the richness of this traditional craft.
