Varnam (meaning ‘colours’) is a multi-award winning social enterprise that has been working with artisans in Channapatna, Karnataka, for over 4 years. The toy town or 'Gombegala ooru' is primarily known for Channapatna toys. However few have explored the true potential of the very versatile channapatna toy craft. We have produced a series of designs interpreting the 200-year-old channapatna toy-making craft in the home and lifestyle, women’s accessories space, giving tradition a contemporary twist. Using the traditional lac-turnery method popularized by the traditional channapatna toys range, we have produced home and lifestyle products, toys and jewelry. Varnam closely trains and employs male and women artisans of Channapatna. In an industry where more than 90% of the artisans are men, many of Varnam’s products have been handcrafted by women artisans.Proceeds from the sale of Varnam products go into the design and production of more innovative products while striving to keep the craftswomen employed. A recipient of the Kyoorius Design Awards 2013 in Design Craft and Packaging, and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Design Excellence award for its ‘Oinkston tableware’ series 2013 and the CII Design Excellence award for visual communication and packaging 2014, Varnam also trains and works with interns of well-known design institutes.
