Rang Decor has seen Karthik Vaidyanathan share his creative space with it's readers, start his new venture Varnam~ Colors for your home and now he is back with his full fledged exhibition showcasing traditional crafts of Channapatna that are made relevant in today's times and have a strong utilitarian value in our everyday life.

The 'Channapatnaiks' bottle stoppers.
'Kuruvi Series' Paper Roll Dispenser.
Karthik states, "It was over two years ago, on a road trip to Mysore, when I had stopped by at a little toy-shop along the streets of this little town called Channapatna. I came away fascinated. Little did I know then, that I would be so closely linked with this beautiful craft form in the coming years."
Kuruvi Series' Wall Hooks.
'Four Little Chefs' Napkin and Card Holder.
'Three Little Piggies on a bus' hanger.
Salt & Pepper Shakers.
