Handmade Tom Dixon x TIKAU FIBRE lamp (Limited Edition). At this difficult time for the whole world, we need action – and we need design which helps. .

The global pandemic affects everyone, but it poses the biggest threat to people who are already vulnerable and discriminated against. Their rights to healthcare is already restricted as it is, and the current situation could lead to a shortage of food and obstacles to making a living. Therefore, we need creative thinking & design, that helps more than ever. .

Driven by this idea, Tom Dixon and @tikaushop have decided to launch an initiative to develop a design to provide livelihoods for discriminated Indian communities in their homes in rural India. All the proceeds from the sales will be donated locally in India to support the livelihoods of artisans and village communities in the acute hardship caused by the pandemic, helping to secure food, hygiene, sanitation, medical needs and health care, and sharing up-to-date information. // “For years we have been collaborating with Indian craftsmen, engineers and entrepreneurs and treasured the knowledge and skills that the subcontinent still excels at. There have long been rural communities that face immense challenges in getting their craft output to market, and these challenges are now multiplied and disproportionately magnified by the current lockdown in India. We have been meaning to collaborate with Tikau for a while and there is no better time than NOW to support their social enterprise model when these makers face destitution in their villages as the market and the orders vanish.”
– Tom Dixon .

Banana-fibre hanging lampshades, being produced by women artisans in southern India, are the result of this cooperation. We want to launch prototype versions of these designs right now – to support the artisans in this crisis. .

Design Helps is the guiding philosophy linking and driving Tikau’s social model and NGO work.
