# High-End Indian Heritage Kitchenwares The 'IKKIS' Kitchenwares by Gunjan Gupta are Traditional By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-06-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikkis-kitchenwares References: [homecrux](https://www.homecrux.com/ikkis-reimagines-traditional-indian-kitchenware/124901/) & [ikkis.in](https://ikkis.in/) The 'IKKIS' kitchenwares have been designed by Gunjan Gupta as a series of items for the home that draw inspiration from traditional objects to highlight the importance of Indian heritage craft. Unveiled at [Maison & Objet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrousel-flatware) 2019 in Paris to the delight of attendees, the items all feature a distinctly creative aesthetic that puts focus on traditional items one would find as a mainstay part of the everyday Indian lifestyle. This includes a glass, platter, decanter, flatware and much more that has all been given a gilded finish to create a high-end user experience. The 'IKKIS' kitchenwares collection consists of 21 items in total, which is where the project gets its title as Ikkis means 21 in Hindi.
