The Indian sub-continent has had a huge influence on decorative arts across the globe, particularly during the 19th Century when plant motifs common in Indian design since the 17th Century became the height of fashion in British society. But whereas modern production techniques, modernisation and globalisation has changed the way decorative objects are made, and indeed appear, India is still the home of small-scale artisan production. Our favourite fair trade company Nkuku taps into this wealth of skilled craftsmanship which India epitomises, including the hand-decorated Eva enamel range and much of their mouth-blown recycled glass. The second of our mood boards puts together an Indian theme for the summer, not strict in provenance but with a feel of Indian influence on design. We hope you enjoy it.
As with all our mood boards, we have 15% of selected items from the theme our our site.
