Nolwa
Job Description
Designer — Etikoppaka
Contract · On-site · 3–4 months · Travel to craft cluster · Conception to completion
About Nolwa:
Nolwa works at the intersection of Indian craft traditions and contemporary design, producing limited-edition objects that carry the precision of a studio practice and the knowledge of a living craft community.
This engagement is focused on Etikoppaka craft: a centuries-old lacquerware tradition from Andhra Pradesh, worked in softwood and natural lac. We are inviting a designer to spend 3–4 months in sustained inquiry with this craft, exploring what it holds, what it can carry, and where it might go.
The scope spans - form, colour, scale, and material nuance. The work begins at conception and ends with a built object. Nothing in between is handed off.
What the engagement involves :
• Deep, hands-on immersion in the Etikoppaka craft - its materials, process, and possibilities
• Travel to the craft cluster to work directly with the artisan community
• Design development across form, colour, scale, and surface language
• Iteration from concept through prototype to finished object
• Guidance from internationally recognised award-winning designers throughout the project
