The Pattern
The jamakalam, woven in the town of Bhavani, is a handwoven textile known for its strict geometry and vivid colour logic. Its patterns follow a disciplined grid, creating a visual rhythm that feels both utilitarian and artful.
The Process
Inspired by the geometry of the weave, this brass coaster reframes a traditional textile through a contemporary, graphic lens. The pattern echoes the discipline and colour logic of Tamil Nadu’s floor looms, distilled into a minimal object for modern spaces. A small study in how regional craft can evolve without losing its cultural clarity. This piece introduces a considered pop of colour, lending a composed yet striking statement to the spaces it inhabits.
