Art in design

16 August 2024

As a designer I am constantly looking for inspiration around one of that is any art form. A beautiful hand embroidered quilt to or hand crafted beaten brass bowl evokes great emotions. A well designed and crafted piece of furniture is no less than a piece of art. So I wonder why we only look for a painted canvas or sculptures. Art is a very integral part of our lives and that it cannot be restricted to adorn walls. Artists and designers have joined hands to create products like handbags , clothing , shoes , furniture etc. Its time to bring art in spaces in the form of elements like flooring , ceiling, doors, carpets, lights etc

This practice was seen in frescos or the palaces built in Europe and India. But with a wave of contemporary spaces and minimalism penetrating in our lives we restricted ourselves to a painting on a wall. In a constant rush to complete the design process we have conveniently forgotten that art can be a starting point of any design
