Indyjski taxi design

Jak połączyć taksówkarzy z artystami, tak by wyszło… dzieło użytkowe? W Indiach właśnie realizowany jest projekt, który zamienia wnętrza taksówek w małą wystawę. Organizacja Taxi Fabric z dumą przedstawia projekty, które zamieniają codzienność w kolorowe święto!

"Samya beta, aapne jo hamaare liye design banaya uske liye thank you, very very much. Humara taxi bahut chamak gaya. Aapko humne dekha toh nahi hai lekin kabhi milne zaroor aana" – Satmant Singh (Taxi Driver) @samyaarif for #TaxiFabric If you are wondering that you have seen this Taxi somewhere. Well, Chris Martin sits in this one for Hymn for the weekend video @coldplay feat @beyonce and @sonamkapoor #TaxifabricThrowback

Akcja zyskała aprobatę z całego świata. Prawdziwą petardą okazał się teledysk zespołu Coldplay „Hymn for the Weekend”, w którym zaprezentowano designerską taksówkę. O takiej promocji wielu może jedynie pomarzyć, ale lokalnym designerom i artystom nie okazujmy zawiści, a raczej gratulujmy talentu!

Tkaniny i indyjskie tradycje przemycone w projektach robią ogromne wrażenie.

"I always felt that I should have started buying art very early on. It is very important to invest in art in any capacity to support the artists. No one supports them and there is hardly any talk about it. Funding this project is one of my first steps towards my belief." – Tom Claessens, Berlin.

“I sold kulfi for 15 years in Bombay and then have been driving a taxi for 20 years. In all my time in Bombay, I have never interacted with the traffic police the way we did today. The officers were very happy, they spoke to me about the taxi and the process. They also told me that I should talk about it to all the other drivers and value this. Also, I’d like to mention that I’m from Bhor Taluka in Pune. When you write about this project, please mention it. I’d like people to know that a resident of Bhor is now being written about on the internet.” – Shantaram Kuthvad, Taxi Driver #KeepDistance #project promoting a safe driving culture by @sumanshantanu for #Taxifabric
