We’ve all been stroked by the oft-occurring currents of cultural shifts. On some days, culture is a monologue with the self. On other days, it is a conversation with society. And instead of ink scripting these stories, knots and weaves become the medium and the canvas to tell many a tale for the 104-year-old OBEETEE Carpets for their new collection titled Viraasat.
A term that translates to legacy, these carpets wear a new language of India and its heritage imagined by four renowned designers Anita Dalmia, Anju Modi, Ashdeen Z. Lilaowala and Tarun Tahiliani. Rich in art and architectural hints, they lend their individual admiration for our regional design literature to each tapestry, conjuring a compelling romance of colours, threads and historical references for the carpets to become generational keepsakes.
