On the Design Boat is a year old!  

We started a year back with a thought, of sharing with you what we find inspiring in the field of design. We are now a pulsating platform, having an extended online presence as an Etsy store where you can see more related to our design interests, having started with children's clothing.

Design inspires us. It is a constant in our lives.  
Buoyed by our encouraging readership statistics (5850 blog views to date!), we look ahead to continue to bring to you design in its many forms...

And, on our first anniversary, we would like to take you on a journey back in time to see all that OTDB has published in this one year!


Ceramics: studio pottery and clay traditions like the Pueblo storytellers


Sculpture: Paper cities, a paper boat on a journey through time


Architecture: Geoffery Bawa's residence, Retreats in Greece and South India, Boat House in Netherlands, and,


Some astonishing architectural forms in the Heydar Aliyev Centre, Baku;  Shell house, Japan; Wind shelter, England



We also brought to you lots of Product Design: design with bamboo and cane; bead curtains; user friendly and inspiring packaging design; products made out of paper pulp, and, Kantha.


Crocheted playgrounds (yes!), furniture and paper lamps besides design in food!


 We also featured traditional crafts being presented in a contemporary form - lacquer and woodwork, besides cutting edge modern design.
