Thinking Hand
Non Profit Organization
International Competition
In Collaboration with
Ketham's Atelier
An Open invitation to design Innovative Furniture for Neglected Communities in
India and Africa
Thinking Hand NGO
A non-profit organization located in Hyderabad India. Our endeavor is to bring
awareness on design and innovation through workshops, exhibitions, lectures,
discussions and competitions, and channel them to bring positive change in the
society. Previously, Thinking Hand has conducted a workshop “Shelter in Need”,
aiming to design a foldable structure, to shelter refugees and other vulnerable groups
during disasters. To signify the history, profoundness in architectural design and
engineering of our heritage sites, neglected since long, an exhibition and discussion
"Trails" was held, calling for the attention of civil society and government to usher
the immediate protection that these heritage sites deserve. Recently, in collaboration
with University of Innsbruck an “Indo-Euro workshop” was held to bring design
solutions for neglected communities, appreciating the efforts university has agreed
and pioneered a studio project named E2-energy efficient low cost construction in
India. To build effectual dwelling units, ergonomically designed furniture and other
interiors are as important as strong external structures, and to bring best design
solutions currently an international design competition is announced.
