Irthi’s series brings the sophistication and exquisite detailing of luxury٬ handmade crafts to everyday items; making accessibility a central focus and creating a symbiotic relationship between rural makers and the urban markets that are served by them. By weaving the worlds of Talli and marquetry together, Irthi and Nada Debs introduce an intricately crafted interpretation of the vessels traditionally carried by Bedouin women. The forms, typically used for copper pots, are translated into solid oak and woven with narratives uniting the journeys and expertise of craftsmen and craftswomen from different parts of the region. The result is a contemporary collection of three multifunctional bowls. https://bit.ly/3OPJGR6 @irthicouncil @nadadebs
