MIRALI : Being locked up during the pandemic times , has given people time and space to observe and rethink their surroundings . Today , most furniture items owned in our houses are mass produced . While they might look good or have a functionality to them , they lack soul . Our intention is to have a human centric approach towards developing sustainable objects by harvesting a relation between the craftsman and the designer to inspire more innovative products . These objects in its true essence capture the spirit of the craft , material , contrasting cultures , across diverse geographic locations which the consumers tend to value time and again .

MIRALI : Tapa making is a centuries old craft in Polynesia . The traditional practices of women artisans beating the inner bark of the mulberry tree to form the base cloth , to using natural pigments and stenciling tribal motifs continue . We design the products based on the formations of the bark cloth . Our skilled carpenters and fabricators work towards making every individual piece unique and authentic .
