TARKASHI MATRIX Wall-mounted wooden mirror 

Narrating an interesting tale of artistic exploration and a celebration of sustainability, the surfaces & home pieces from the Tarkashi Collection, create a new definition of both art and authenticity.‎  The word Taar means ‘wire’ and Kashi means ‘inlay’ in Hindi.‎ Known to be one of the most versatile and appreciated art forms, Tarkashi has adorned jewellery boxes & artifacts since centuries.‎ The process involves drawing of the design on a piece of paper & then transferring onto wood, where each detail of the pattern is hand-carved to create deep grooves.‎ Flattened and gleaming metal wires are then inlaid into the grooves and hammered into position by hand.‎
Artisans of this centuries old dying art form, take several years to master the craft.‎ Through extensive training along with technology, Orvi has provided sustainable livelihood to the few surviving Tarkashi artisans in India.‎
