The Crafts Council of India’s Craft Shop ‘Kamala’ presents “Pathram” (3rd edition), a ‘collection’ of crafts from ‘kitchen to tableware’… celebrating the quintessential Indian pathram in all its evocative shapes, forms and colour, and it’s mystique of churning out the cornucopia of Indian dishes…as well as its evolution as part contemporary kitchen and table settings.
Today, young and style centric generation wants trendy cookware and tableware, pathrams which are shaped for today’s lifestyle but rooted in traditional artisanal genius. CCI’s pathram collection offers a stunning and eye catching array of ‘kitchen to tableware’ with a look and flavour of the past yet tweaked, modified and even minimalized for everyday dining and for special occasions. Alongside are dining table accessories such as exquisitely hand-crafted table mats, runners, tray, napkins and more.
