Devi Design – Indian Handicrafts
Devi design is a New Dehli based company that created these inspired designs. The first piece really caught our attention – titled Crowd Bowl it is inspired by the art of the Warli tribe. The small tribe has a long history of mural paintings in which men, women, trees and birds are joined to create the whole. A common theme in Warli paintings is spiral formations of people, symbolizing the circle of life.
These pieces from Devi Design are crafted from metals such as brass, aluminum and stainless steel. They are fabricated using a traditional sand casting method. The collection effectively blends tradition with contemporary design with an emphasis on nature-inspired themes. Some of the pieces are available through The Conran Shop.
The Offering Bowls on the bottom left are gorgeous! Another example of perfect imperfection!
