Since time immemorial, the human race has strived to make a mark rather than just survive on Earth. The proof lies in all the beautiful ways that have been discovered and invented over the years to showcase the various talents that humans possess. One such amazing gift is the gift of Art and Craft. When taking a gander at the rich artistic heritage of our Incredible India, one wonders how so many marvels can co – exist in one single Nation. From grandiose stone sculptures to intricate handcrafted wood furniture, from meticulous miniature paintings to glittering mirror lippan artworks, there seems to be no end to the creativity of the artisans of India. Sadly, the passing of time has inhumanly sent many art and craft forms into an unyielding abyss, making it imperative to revive these majestic traditions. Relieving such marvels of yesteryear, Studio Trataka’s intricately carved Nakashidar Kursi has the power to take you back to the wondrous medieval times, that were filled with art, beauty and culture.
Exquisite Elegance – The Timeless Art of Nakashidar Woodwork
The Nakashi technique involves carving and engraving elaborate designs and motifs on softwood, using simple tools like chisels, hammers, and knives. Meticulous artisans intricately carve the wood, creating stunning patterns, figures, and reliefs. Initially, nakashi work was used to decorate temples, religious artefacts, and the homes of the elite. The intricate designs often depicted mythological themes, floral motifs, and scenes from the daily human lives.
Over the years, the nakashi work has drastically evolved from being exclusively used in religious and prestigious places like temples and palaces, to now having found a unique place in the day – to – day lives of humans. Keeping up with the present day demands of in – vogue design styles, contemporary designers are trying to sustain the craft despite all the challenges, and continue to innovate artful conceptions that blend traditional techniques with modern merchandise. This has led to the creation of a wide range of nakashidar products, from handcrafted furniture and home decor items to innumerable fashion accessories. It is Studio Trataka’s immense honour to present one such gem in the form of our Nakashidar Kursi.
