BRAIDING CULTURES

Carina and Lukas are two product designers based in Winterthur, Switzerland. With their firm KreativKonsum they realize projects in the fields of product design, user centred design, game and educational design and scenographic design.

What they really love about their profession is the wide variety of procedures they are involved with. To design, for them, means to get in contact with different people, materials, methods and challenges. Sustainability, technological developments and humanity are constant parts of their design concepts.

Since Carina and Lukas are fascinated by the Indian culture and especially the handicraft, they planned the project Braiding Cultures.
As designers they are very interested in working hands on. That’s why they wanted to explore the basketry and other possibilities of processing natural materials to create designs of their own.
During their three months journey through India they got the great chance to visit many interesting places, work with skilled artisans and establish relationships for future collaborations.
