Designers Alberto Gobbino Ciszak and Andrea Caruso Dalmas, from the studio Ciszak-Dalmas, have created an innovative artisan exhibit cart for showing the clothing collection inspired by the sarongs of Indian designer Kavita Parmar.
She presented her new collection at the store RaastaThe Seed, located in a renovated 3-story building, formerly an old carriage garage, on the main road Jorge Juan in the center of Madrid on June 9, 2010.
The young designers were hired by the exhibitor Carro Lungi, which was done post-show in order to exhibit this designer’s collection, which is housed in Madrid. Made by hand using commonly-used objects from daily life, reused and reinterpreted, they enhanced the Lungi collection, which reflects on sustainability and encourages creators and communities to maintain their traditional artisan craftwork. The pieces reclaim Lungi, a textile made of traditional cotton from the South of India, which is manufactured using artisan manual looms in a completely unique way such that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
Ciszak-Dalmas, former Master of European Design Labs students, created their own studio in 2009 upon completing the Masters program. They work in Madrid and Torino for various companies and collaborate with academic institutions on design, innovation and communications projects.
Design Magazine published a report on the Carro Lungi project in its June 24th edition.
