Morii Design, a textile design studio, was set up in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, by Brinda Dudhat and Kabir Yadav in 2019. Morii is derived from the Japanese word Mori, meaning forest.
Rooted in a deep respect for Indian craftsmanship and a love for contemporary design, the studio attempts to bridge tradition and modernity, by blending timeless techniques with contemporary aesthetics.
Brinda, during a semester exchange in Japan as a design student, was deeply influenced by the Japanese approach to design, particularly at TAMA Art University, and the integration of traditional design into contemporary life.
Working in close collaboration with over 150 women artisans across remote villages in Kutch, Bengal, and Bihar, the studio creates contemporary textile artworks through a process rooted in research, documentation, and the development of new visual languages inspired by India's living craft traditions.
Drawing from various techniques of hand embroidery, each work evolves collaboratively over several months, bringing together multiple craft practices and generations of knowledge. By reimagining these traditions through a contemporary lens, each artwork is a unique piece, reflecting a shared process of making - where design, material knowledge, and collective authorship come together in works that remain deeply rooted in their place of origin.
