   System Design: Cappellini + Designers + N.G.O.s + Craftsmen    
 

Creating a system by which different actors can work for a common goal.
One of the most important actors are the N.G.O.s who work as a bridge between Cappellini designers and the artisans. They also address concerns like, Homogeneity of products, Loss of local market for the artisans, and other ethical questions.

Designing a digital platform that can store all the information that the N.G.O.s in collaboration with the artisans will be uploading. This information on various crafts will be categorized in two categories, FACTS & PHILOSOPHY. The FACT section will store information pertaining to raw materials, tools, cost, process, time period etc. The PHILOSOPHY section will store information on the history of the craft, why it is practiced traditionally, reverence to everyday life, inspiration derived from the region and landscape etc. Using these information, Cappellini designers can derive new ideas and inspiration to design using similar materials and techniques.

 
         
   Product Example      
         
   

As a working example, a range of products where developed on the basis of the information collected for the Cultural Weaving Platform. One such example is this table, where the legs are designed in bronze, using a traditional handcrafted technique called DHOKRA. The textures on the legs are a trademark of this craft.
