Meaningful
DesignWhat began as a search
for amazing materials has
become a connection
between design and artisansfrom around the world. During
a visit to Nepal following therecent earthquakes, we saw
an opportunity to work withartisans to create uniqueinterlayers using repurposedmaterials from their rebuilding
efforts. The following Full
Circle designs represent thiscollaboration and pave theway for a brighter future
for the artisans we workwith in Nepal.

Kathali
Kathali, the Nepalese word for wooden, is a tribute to the post-earthquake
rebuilding efforts utilizing wood, an abundant resource in Nepal. Villagers trimand smooth raw pine beams with hand planers, leaving piles of aromatic shavings.
These shavings are then collected, shaped, and painted by local artisans.

The rural Himalayan village near Kathmandu is home to artisans skilled
in working with bamboo. Close collaboration with our Nepali partners led
us to develop a new style of cut bamboo dowels. Lina, which means stickin Nepalese, is a pattern of dowels that are hand painted and bundled
by local artisans and sent to our team in the US for final arrangement.
