Nipa, who was born in Mumbai and raised in Delhi, recalls being shaped by an appreciation for modernist design ideals and the importance of craft, while Jonathan, who was trained in fne cabinetmaking and industrial design, spent much of his childhood learning how things are made in his family’s factory in Scotland. Though somewhat opposing, this plurality of infuences and cultural experiences proved a great force. Today, their celebrated studio Doshi Levien is defned by a hybridised mindset bringing technology, craftsmanship and industrial techniques to the fore across furniture, textiles and product design.The dhurrie technique is made on a horizontal loom, creating a fat fabric made with long wefts of any color, that are intertwined and woven into the warp by hand.
