Collective Craft is an artisan centric design initiative started in Odisha – a land of many magnificent and magical crafts traditions. The organisation engages traditional crafts skills in contemporary product and space design and works towards creating environmentally responsible design solutions.

The design process begins with an exploration of the Craft – its materials, techniques and skills. The team study the existing craft language, explore the comfort zone of the Artisans and then design the products. The Artisan is involved and engaged at every stage of the process to ensure that they comprehend and understand the context and application of their skills. The constant challenge is to help the Artisan find relevance for their work in a changing world.
