Active Research

Design labs in regional India

We pair modern architects with regional masters of uncompromised craft to develop contemporary design objects that preserve ancestral knowledge.

Field Documentation

Preserving endangered creative lineages

Our team archives vanishing creative practices across rural districts. We record the precise chemistry of natural pigments, the geometry of nomadic looms, and the oral histories of master creators.

This research forms an open-access digital repository, ensuring that centuries of regional mastery remain accessible to contemporary global designers and cultural institutions.

Exhibition Labs

Living craft as contemporary intellect

We commission site-specific installations that merge architectural scale with ancestral materials. These experimental works challenge the divide between functional object and fine art, presenting Indian craftsmanship as a living intellectual force.
