Design and Development

The design development of the furniture was done with locally available bamboo and eco-friendly timber/ metal substitutes. Besides reorienting the local craftsmen’s skills towards easy to use and produce functional and utilitarian items of furniture, the project aimed at improving the overall quality of infrastructural facilities in our rural institutions.
