Foundation” “Made In India” “ furniture
category” 2013–14 Design Competition
Project Name: The Cuddle
“The cuddle” is a product for those who
appreciate art and associate themselves
with art, as art & craft is the origin of design.
Taking inspiration from traditional kutch jari
work on leather, the cuddle is designed to
help the user sit comfortably and in the right
posture, whilst being easy to carry. Canvas
and vegetable dyed, tanned leather are fused
together. Kutch style artwork creates a
narrative on the leather. Biased canvas fabric
is used for its flexibility.

 2. National Sizing Standards for India
NID has submitted a proposal to the Jamsetji Tata
Trust for restructuring the Jamsetji Tata Chair
for Universal Design at NID. The new proposal
addresses the need for developing an Indian
anthropometric database nationwide, which will
be disseminated to all sectors of design for the
industry in India. While it is believed that a number
of other educational institutes, universities,
and R&D organizations have developed certain
human body dimensions/data sets through
relevant research, such data are still unorganized
and not statistically valid enough for use by any
specific industry in its totality, absoluteness, and
completeness. A national seminar on ‘National
Sizing Standards in India’ was held at NID in
August 2013 to initiate this activity.
3. Innovation Centre for Natural Fibre (ICNF)
NID has set up an Innovation Centre for Natural
Fibre at the PG Campus, Gandhinagar with a
focus on improvement in natural fibres processing
techniques, capacity building in natural fibres
development, and utilization through innovation
in design, engineering, and technology. The
centre has prioritized some natural fibres of
national importance such as banana, bamboo,
coir, and hemp for exploration. In this pursuit, it
is networking with institutions within India and
abroad, to appropriate and create sustainable
designs applications using these fibres as a primary
material. Also, significant benefits to the local
and national economy can be attained with a
focused programme that can leverage design and
technology for sustainable livelihoods, as well
as create cutting edge solutions for tomorrow’s
market.
A national workshop was held at the PG Campus,
Gandhinagar from July 22–23, 2014.

4. Living Blue: Design Anthropology and the
Designer’s role in the shifting meanings of
Indigo in India and China
NID and Swinburne University have signed an
MoU, under the aegis of which, a workshop was
held focusing on natural dyeing practices of
India, especially on the Indigo dyeing traditions
of Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. This workshop
focused to gain the anthropological understanding
of the meanings of Indigo, by way of engaging with
craftspersons and the material exploring traditions
with the contemporary minds that appreciate the
traditional values. The workshop was conducted
from June 30–July 11, 2014. Demonstrations,
sketching of the design motifs related to cultural
values, dyeing techniques, sketching, drawing, and
concept presentations were part of this workshop.
Experts in the field from China, Australia, and
India anchored this workshop. A field visit was
conducted in India also, where a team comprising
V. Sakthivel from National Institute of Design, Prof.
Elizabeth Tunstall, Dr. Karen Hughes, and Ms. Anna

OUTREACH PROGRAMMES
NID’s Outreach Programmes extend the
institute’s experience and training facilities to
the service of those outside its regular education
and client service activities. These programmes
help build a network of design collaboration
towards economic and social priorities between
the institute and organisations, and groups, and
individuals all over India. These networks help
extend design application to those areas that are
still new to design.
46 ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15
NID’s efforts are enriched by the experience of
its Outreach collaborators which range from
industrial bodies (particularly small, medium
and hand industries) and other institutions
of education and training, to voluntary
organisations and central or state bodies working
in priority sectors. Workshop and training
programmes are tailored to the specific needs
of particular groups, aimed at assisting them
to put design awareness in schools, at primary
and secondary levels. A list of various outreach
programmes and projects undertaken during the

INTEGRATED DESIGN SERVICES
Client servicing is an integral part of NID’s activity.
Through Integrated Design Services (IDS) NID
undertakes consultancy projects and professionally
delivers design solutions in various areas of design
disciplines.
The projects are undertaken by faculty mainly to
bring market realities to the design studios of NID
in a multidisciplinary environment for the benefit of
clients. Projects in line with NID’s areas of expertise
are carefully chosen, so that institution can provide
state of the art design solution to clients.
Consultancy assignment at NID starts with an
enquiry from the client mentioning details of their
probable design requirement. In many cases, an
enquiry is followed by the meeting with the client
in order to understand the scope of the project
and creative design brief. Based on the design brief,
a techno-commercial proposal is made and sent to
the client for approval. Design intervention is carried
out in various phases which involve initial research,
concept development and design detailing,
prototyping, user testing and finalisation of design.
IDS also facilitates students to work on live
professional projects by assisting faculty through the
“Earn While You Learn” scheme.
Over the last 50 years, NID has successfully
completed many projects of national importance
which includes logo design for more than 500
Government, Semi-Government and Private
Organizations ranging from SBI, Doordarshan, Right

INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR
INDIAN CRAFTS (ICIC)
NID has set up an International Centre for Indian
Crafts (ICIC) with the primary aim to effectively
understand the needs, strengths, and weaknesses of
the crafts sector and apply NID’s interdisciplinary
design expertise and knowledge base for capacity
building and skill upgradation of artisans with
a global-local approach. The unique approach
helps to develop a national and international
network for crafts design research, training,
and knowledge dissemination for providing
collaborative and sustainable linkages to the
Indian crafts sector. The key objective of the
centre is to impart training for craftspersons and
to undertake crafts-related projects by providing
formal contemporary design entrepreneurship
and product development orientation through
strategic design-technology-skill management
programmes/workshops at multiple levels. The
goals ICIC is focusing on are:
• To raise design and quality standards of
crafts products for better marketability.
• To capitalise on local strengths in culture
and crafts to pursue interdisciplinary
strategic focus.
• To utilise design research and
documentation as a strategy for enriching
knowledge and skills.
• To act as an interface between the
government and the handicrafts sector
for preparing policies and plans to achieve
common goals.
• To increase opportunities of gaining
knowledge through national and
international programmes and collaborative
projects.
• To extend expertise for similar initiatives and
setting up crafts based institutions in India
and elsewhere.
• To promote events and activities for
extending and expanding markets for Indian
handicrafts.
• To help protect the Intellectual Property
Rights of the Indian crafts sector.

come forward for this initiative which will help
them to participate in Good Design Mark Awards
of Japan.

The Design Clinic Scheme continues to be a

shot in the arm for the MSMEs who, with design
awareness and sensitization, are now looking
for more and more design intervention for their
products and services. The Scheme stands out as a
major tool for the benefit of Indian MSMEs in the
years ahead, and affords greater opportunities to
the young designers. Being one of the important
and successful Schemes, the Ministry of MSME
is contemplating to increase the targets and to
reach out of MSMEs across the country through

role of design in creating innovation and building
sustainable competitive advantage for companies as
well as to promote the India Design Mark.
The council collaborated with the Confederation
of Indian Industry (CII) to hold these seminars. The

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DESIGN 71
 Both the seminars were well attended and served
the basic objective. After the success of the first two

seminars in different Indian cities during June –
October 2015.
Design Education
Design Education Quality Mark Workshop
In pursuance of the National Design Policy, 2007,
the India Design Council’s mandate to raise Indian
Design Education to global standards of excellence
remains steadfast.
In reference to the same, the council in
collaboration with the Quality Assurance Agency,
UK (QAA) and support of British Council, has
evolved a quality code for setting and maintaining
academic standards, programme design & approval
along with programme monitoring & review for
design education institutions in India.
Taking this further, India Design Council conducted
a 2-day training workshop from 25th-26th March
2015 at NID, Paldi Campus, Ahmedabad aimed at
training potential Indian assessors and Program
Reviewers in undertaking the review of design
education institutions using the established
quality code. Dr. Penny McCracken from QAA,
UK conducted the workshop, which saw the
attendance of 44 people from over 28 design
schools across the country.
72 ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15
The applications for the Design Education Quality
Mark are set to open in May 2015.
Re-thinking Basic Design Pedagogy Workshop
The importance of teaching Basic Design or
Foundation-level design in design education is
widely acknowledged. While different design
disciplines may have their domain specific nuances,
it is the Basic Design which binds all of them
together by laying the foundation of a competent
and informed designer.
India Design Council invited design faculty from
all across the country, from various disciplines
participated in this immersive experience. Design
professionals interested in teaching were also
welcomed.
The two-day intensive program held on 27th-28th
March, 2015 at NID, Paldi Campus, Ahmedabad was
a not only a platform for members of various design
institutions to share their best practices, exercises,
pedagogies and methodologies along with their
intended outcomes but also a wonderful opportunity
to network and connect with their peers.
Occupation and Skills Standards
The India Design Council has setup another
objective to evolve design skills and occupational
standards for India. These standards will be helpful
in documenting different job occupations within
the design industry in India and design departments
of businesses operating in India. The standard will
document the different skill sets needed to meet
these job occupations.
The standards so evolved will provide a means for
the academic community, industry and society
to describe the nature and characteristics of
programmes in a specific subject or subject area.
They will also represent general expectations about
standards for the award of qualifications at a given
level in terms of the attributes and capabilities
that those possessing qualifications should have
demonstrated.
The standards will document possible job
occupations outside the design industry where
design skills could become useful and hence
could create additional avenues for design-trained
students. Similarly, the standards will outline the
needed design skills amongst other education
domains such as Engineering and Management and
in school education.
The India Design Council will be working with
Design Council, UK and the International Skills
Standards Organization, UK (INSSO) to develop
these standards.
