Prabha
Prompt: I had to make a product based on a culture or history
Prabha is a lamp that reinterprets the storytelling richness of Pattachitra through a contemporary design lens. Rooted in the intricate traditions of this ancient Indian art form, the lamp transforms narrative painting into an object of ambient light. Instead of canvas, its surface becomes the medium—where delicate linework, mythological motifs, and ornamental borders are translated into layered materials, etched panels, or hand-painted elements that glow from within.
