Renowned architect and lighting designer Arjun Rathi recently announced India Light Craft – an open lighting design competition that encourages the use of non-traditional materials and sustainability exploring modern design sensibilities. The competition aims to create an independent luminaire which blends form & function - exploring the fine line between technical & decorative lighting to create a ‘techno-decorative’ luminaire.
While maintaining the emphasis on sustainable materials and crafts, the goal of the competition is to design a luminaire for mass production, which can be used across residential, commercial, or institutional projects. An inviting aspect of the initiative is that the winning entries will be taken into prototyping and commercial production by Arjun Rathi Design with the winners receiving design credit and royalty on sales.
