art of the matter WITH AMRITA GUHA & JOYA NANDURDIKAR

The Untitled Design and Furgonomics duo share a totem born from craft and collaboration - a sculptural piece that anchors stories, rituals, and quiet pauses within their studio space

- WORDS VARUNI MOHAN

At Delhi-based Untitled Design, co-founders Amrita Guha and Joya Nandurdikar have spent over two decades shaping spaces where craft collaborates with contemporary design. Through their award-winning multidisciplinary practice and their product label Furgonomics, the duo has consistently championed indigenous processes, collaborating with artisans across India to give traditional crafts a modern voice. For them, art isn't about ornamentation it's about narrative, memory, and emotion. Here, they share the story of a totem from their in-house workshop that captures this philosophy.
