Inspired by the timeless artistry of Indian bamboo and cane craftsmanship, the choker necklace features thin, straight-flowing bamboo woven with cane into a graceful, curved architectural form. It incorporates a traditional bamboo weaving technique, often seen in the intricate corner details of various bamboo products, highlighting the natural beauty of bamboo while also emphasising its gentle, curved lines. The flowing design reflects an admiration for bamboo’s elegance, with delicate curves that add texture and depth to the piece. Crafted from eco-friendly, azo-free dyed bamboo, this necklace captures the vibrant spirit of colourful bamboo products and celebrates both the intricate artistry of Indian bamboo craft and architectural beauty.
Inspired by the angular lines of modern architectural elements, the ring showcases a fusion of architectural elegance and the natural beauty of bamboo. It features an open, angular form that contrasts with the soft-flowing curves of bamboo. The layered placement of bamboo and cane creates a dynamic sense of movement, infusing the piece with energy and life. The juxtaposition of sharp lines and organic curves highlights the interplay between structure and nature, while the eco-friendly dyed bamboo adds a touch of colour to the design, emphasising the beauty of traditional bamboo baskets. The ring embodies a sophisticated balance between modern design and traditional craftsmanship, taking the form of a sculpture on the finger.
Capturing the essence of movement and tradition, these statement earrings feature a dynamic spiral form that effortlessly combines with straight-flowing bamboo, held in place with cane, creating a sense of constant motion and an illusion of movement. Inspired by architectural elements, the spiral design merges with red, eco-friendly, azo-free dyed bamboo to form a canopy shape, reminiscent of traditional bamboo structures used in homes. The blend of organic flow and architectural influence evokes both strength and fluidity, while honouring the artistry of traditional bamboo and cane weaving.
The dome-shaped ring features a modern interpretation of a traditional weave, seamlessly blending architectural inspiration with the organic beauty of bamboo. The design draws on the tension found in architectural elements, with the smooth, rounded dome shape reflecting both the strength and fluidity of structural forms. The azo-free dyed bamboo is woven into a V-shaped folded pattern with cane, creating an interconnected, flowing design that promotes harmony and movement. The layers of bamboo are meticulously placed to evoke a sense of fluidity, while maintaining a refined architectural essence.
