About
Samriddhi Tiwari is a contemporary jewellery designer from India, interested in merging the ethics and values of traditional techniques with modern technology to create wearable sculptural forms.
She is passionate about exploring the space between culture, heritage, and contemporary sensibilities and the potential it holds in today’s globalised world while also focusing on aspects of sustainability and ethical production.
An amalgamation of traditional techniques and contemporary forms. Sculptured Weave explores the Bamboo and Cane craft of India, its cultural identity, exquisite patterns and techniques and reinvents this tradition in an attempt to bring a piece of traditional India into contemporary form. Within a globalised multi-cultural world, the collection seeks to celebrate the ideals and significance of traditional approaches and their potential for fusion with modern technology to create aesthetically appealing jewellery for a niche market. Keeping in mind the sustainability aspects of the craft and the jewellery sector, the collection puts focus on the use of eco-friendly materials and ethical production and combines traditional bamboo and cane hand-making skills of the artisans with modern manufacturing methods to create a contrast and present a collection that is architectural, structured, with a softer organic feel to it. Sculptured Weave attempts to create a bond with its eco-conscious wearers on the values of eco-friendly materials, artisanal crafts, and craft community upliftment. It is designed as a tangible memory and reflection of Indian heritage and creativity for the Indian diaspora finding their roots in foreign lands and admirers of Indian art and culture everywhere.
