Design Evolution

The postmodern design trend spanned two decades, beginning with architecture in the 1960s and peaked between 1970 and 1990. It was strong defiance of modern design's austere ideas. Postmodern design involves a lively, creative, and extravagant style that embraces unorthodox ideas. Hippie culture set the way for a new period of creative expression in art, music, fashion, and design in the 1960s. Flower power and free-flowing hair were followed by expressive architecture with a spin on forms and symbols, which later influenced interior design.

BUNDI SCHOOL OF ART - CHITRASHALA  Image source:- inditales.com/chitrashala-miniature-paintings-bundi/ The Bundi School is an important school of Rajasthani miniature painting that flourished in the princely state of Bundi, which was ruled by Hadoti Rajputs, from the 17th to the end of the 19th century. The Chunar Ragamala, painted in 1561, is one of the earliest examples of Bundi Paintings. Hunting, court scenes, festivals, processions, nobles' life, lovers' lifestyles, animals, birds, and scenes from Lord Krishna's life were all included prominently in Bundi paintings. The Bundi School had a close relationship with the Mughal style, although it was never central to the development and progress of Bundi paintings; nonetheless, the Mughal style's delicacy was not forgotten.

Vernacular Producct Of Assam- Jaapi Image Source:-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Assamese_Muga_With_Japi.jpg For centuries, Assam has used jaapi, a traditional form of handicraft formed by tightly weaving bamboo, cane, and leaves. It's a bamboo conical hat with dried tokou (a palm tree found in Upper Assam rainforests) leaves on top. While it is most commonly used to greet guests at official ceremonies, farmers in rural Assam wear a more utilitarian version to shield themselves from the harsh weather, including both sun and rain, while working in the fields.
