SELF-INTERPRETATION The brief was to design products which are lightweight, easy to transport and cost-effective. Combination of various sand stone, wood and metal could be used to create fusion products. The brief was to design a product range from sandstone for indoor as well as outdoors. After this we did the site visit at Sikandra where we observed the machine and hand processing of sandstone. This helped in giving a clear vision as in what should be our deliverables to the stone industry. The ideation was the best part where i personally did learn a lot. We did many sketches which helped me to visualise better, so it gave me a clear view of the process. Sketching helped in the sense to realise the what are the various possibilities in stone. We also explored in various materials so as to get a better vision of the prototype`s feasibility.

EXPERIENCE Working in Sand stone was a great exrience for me. I naver had explored stone as a material so was a great learning all forgether. it was a great oppartunity to work with the artisans at sikendra.
