Case 04 / 04
Heritage Craft · Hand-turned toys
Bidiraka & Co. — toys turned by hand, coloured by friction.
A third-generation Channapatna karkhana that has turned hale-mara wood since 1953. The brief: a site that doesn't apologise for being from somewhere — saturated Mysore yellow, vermillion borders, kolam-cornered temple panels, Kannada and Devanagari at display size. The page is built around three things you won't find on an Etsy template: a five-stage process strip (wood → seasoning → turning → lacquer → polish), a framed product triptych on indigo, and a closing plate that earns its sentiment by putting a child's hand on it.
