uous vegetative reproduction

The aim was to change peoples’ perception of bamboo products from being cheap, inferior and ‘craftsy’ to a contemporary, sleek and modern image.

BAMBOO CANOPYRHIZOME + EKALAVYA FOUNDATION + TBDC

BRIEF : Create a flexible travelling exhibition system that displays the products of the three organisations and reflects their philosophy of sustainable design.

THE CONCEPT

A rhizome when separated into pieces can give rise to a new plant from each piece. This process can go on endlessly.

Taking inspiration from this, I chose fractals, geometric forms that have the property of potentially infinite repetition.

Before After

SAUDAGIRI (1840 - 1940)Textiles for export

Designs from Thailand. Derived from architectural motif

Blocks made and printing done in India and exported

SIAM (THAILAND)

GUJARAT

The project aimed at communicating the changing identities of Saudagiri textiles that were once dried on the river bed of the Sabarmati river. These textiles are no more manufactured

Page 11: Portfolio Tanvi Kanakia Exhibition Design

NOW AND THEN

the installation shows the changing identities of a space by giving the chance to be in the past and the present at the same time. It also shows how these two worlds effortlessly merge into one another and from one to another

Look of blown away sand unearthing the past can be at multiple spaces having different prints / sam-ples of fabric

SANDS OF TIME02.

‘DYING DRYING’

The form of the installation is inspired the bamboo scaf-foldings on which cloth is dried even to this day but is slowly dying. The installation shows the process of making of the fabric, where it starts from a plain white cloth and ends up as a printed textile.

On looking from the front, one can see numerous printed saudagiri textiles

VENUE DESIGN

CLIENT : Rage Productions

EXPLORING PLASTICS

All of us have stories that we keep within ourselves, secrets we hide from the world, sometimes because we fear how the world will judge us. The installation provides for these unheard stories to be ‘uncaged’.
