As cheap, mass-produced industrial goods make their final onslaught on the last remaining pockets of the globe that still use and buy handmade artefacts, craft skills gradually vanish. Nowhere is this more visible than in India.⁠
⁠
In 2004 Tom was involved in an initiative in Jaipur to create alternative possibilities for the rapidly vanishing craftsmen and their skills. The BEAT light was instigated during a NGO development project undertaken by the British Council and Tom Dixon, in an effort to maintain and develop the skills of street metalworkers of Rajasthan. ⁠
⁠
The underlying proportions and techniques of traditional brass work used to create water vessels and cooking pots were used to create new objects of sculptural simplicity with a rethought functionality.⁠

lascholasstudio That’s great. I wish more designers like you that has more power like small designers like us keep on doing this work so traditional skills and handcrafted are not lost. We have enough cheap badly done things around already

nmajakari Did the british council or Tom produce a lessons learned document? Woukd be intetested to know how many units were sold per year and did the project evolce into real business?
