THE DESIGNERS

Nolwa collaborates with designers from across the globe, leveraging their unique approaches to re-interpret heritage crafts and create uncommon and intriguing products.

For our first collection, we handpicked designers from diverse geographies and invited them to apply their distinctive methodologies to the ancient craft of Bidri.

Channelling influences ranging from minimalistic geometric forms, mathematics-based contemporary constructions, parametric spatial arrangements, to unconventional systems of joinery — these designers not only pushed the boundaries of form and function, but also gave Bidri a new, contemporary voice.
