Classical forms find expression as 21st-century design objects. Embedded in indigenous craft and materiality and offered in two collections – Unlimited and Limited – each evoke a memory or ritual iconic to India.

Aesthetics and utility reinterpret classical Indian forms, distinguished by craftsmanship and collaboration.Working with makers of regional craft creates a precious flow of provenance and skill. Explorations unearth an approach that is rooted in a deep respect for material and technique.

IKKIS’ translates from Hindi to mean ‘21’, a number eternally significant and symbolic in matters both physical and spiritual. It’s no coincidence that sequence, modularity, and symmetry informs how we design for 21st-century contemporary living.

Founder & Creative Director Gunjan Gupta’s body of work continues to engage India’s inimitable paradoxes through presences at private collections and museums worldwide including Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Paris, Triennale di Milano and M+ Museum, Hongkong.

With IKKIS, her practice evolves to include a larger community of makers to develop a global offering, rooted in distinct Indian rituals or utility, whilst balancing her belief in heritage with her whimsical side. With our IKKIS Limited series, her intention is to work collaboratively with master craftsmen on equal footing.
