Basketlike Lighting Fixtures

The Awateef Project by Knockoutdesign and Sindyanna of Galilee

— October 31, 2011 — Art & Design
Polish design firm Knockoutdesign and the Jewish-Arab non-profit organization Sindyanna of Galilee have collaborated on the Awateef project, a special project for a women's weaving center in Israel.

For the Awateef (meaning "feelings") project, Knockoutdesign offered its rattan basket, vase and lamp designs for the women to craft at the weaving center. While the rattan basket designs are similar to traditional Arab baskets, the lamp and vase designs are unique to Knockoutdesign and were created by the firm specifically for this project.

The weaving center is located in the village of Kfar Manda, which has the highest percentage of unemployment in Israel. To help women living in this community, Sindyanna originally opened the weaving center to "revive the traditional craft of rattan weaving and give working opportunities to the local women," describes DesignEast.
Trend Themes
1. Craft Revival - The collaboration between Knockoutdesign and Sindyanna of Galilee highlights the trend of reviving traditional crafts in contemporary design.
2. Social Entrepreneurship - The Awateef project demonstrates the trend of using design collaborations to create economic opportunities for marginalized communities.
3. Sustainable Design - Through the use of rattan, the Awateef project taps into the trend of incorporating natural and eco-friendly materials into product designs.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - Interior design professionals can explore opportunities to incorporate basketlike lighting fixtures into their projects, adding a unique touch to spaces.
2. Social Impact - Non-profit organizations and socially conscious businesses can draw inspiration from the Awateef project to create similar initiatives that empower disadvantaged communities.
3. Sustainable Manufacturing - Manufacturing companies can explore the production of eco-friendly products using materials like rattan, capitalizing on the growing demand for sustainable design solutions.
