B A M B A G N O Bambagno is an outcome inspired by the Yin-yang (Chinese symbol). Intial sketches were developed using the form generations. Bambino is an upshot of the cluster program (part of the course at NIFT) where we travelled to Wayanad,Kerala,India, to learn the traditional skill of Bamboo craft. The techniques like bending,firing and slivering of the bamboo were learnt from the local artisans which were used to design a bathroom utility stand.

The sketches are a derivative from pine cones. Pine cones are the
reproductive parts of pine trees. Male pine cones are soft and small. Female cones are the ones we
generally associate with pine cones.
The female cones are harder and stronger tha n male cones.
The pine cones matches the
characters of my ideal client who is a feminist, bold, independent and supports sustainability
