At Sangaru we work to bring together traditional knowledge & skills in crafts with design & technology to make objects of daily use invaluable, accessible and enjoyable.
Work at Sangaru’s is informed by a significant commitment to local material and local knowledge. Craftsmen
contribute with their traditional knowledge of working with a material efficiently and effectively. At the same time, they
are exposed to the design process and learn ways to develop new products - from an idea on paper, to a prototype, and then to the market. The method of making multiple prototypes before we finalise on one that
is ready to be produced involves constant interaction and experimentation. We believe that creating good products requires healthy collaboration. Along the way, we as a team are creating new knowledge, innovations and markets to inspire the younger generation to practice and disseminate these sustainable traditional methods.
