Title: Re-considering Sustainability in Craft
Abstract: This paper explores the collaboration of design and craft for holistic sustainability. It documents the development of product and skilling the tribal community with the use of a renewable material abundantly available – bamboo, in a field-tested project involving designing for sustainability. It provides an insight into craft-design collaboration to create sustainable products and provides livelihood to the tribal community. The research was aimed at increasing and sustaining the livelihood of the tribal families by product development and training them in the production of bamboo furniture and handicraft products by using alternate methods to industrially engineered ones.
