Well-known Indian designer duo Abraham & Thakore has joined hands with Obeetee to launch a fascinating handcrafted line of rugs. Ttitle ‘Proud to be Indian’, the collection touches upon India’s fascinating elements: The borders of vintage saris from Kanchipuram, block prints from Sanganer and the timeless tie and dye Bandhani from Kutch. The designs are also influenced by the geometry of double Ikat Telia Rumals and the art of calligraphy; the ornate lettering techniques. Other vintage elements like old handwritten letters, faded ink and calligraphic strokes have also been used in this labour of love.
