APPROACH:

For the Birmingham iteration of this touring exhibition, our role within the team was to build and install the exhibition display furniture, interpreting the exhibition design conceived by Studio Mutt, seen in London and Amsterdam. Our focus included technical problem-solving by utilising a combination of fabrication techniques across digital and analogue processes.

The Offbeat Sari is a major exhibition from the Design Museum, conceived and curated by Priya Khanchandani. Celebrating the contemporary sari, it shows how designers, wearers and craftspeople are reshaping how the sari is understood, designed, made and worn in contemporary urban India.
