Shivangi Vasudeva
Based in London and India, Shivangi Vasudeva is a designer working at the intersection of furniture and textiles. Her practice centers on material culture and endangered Indian crafts, reimagining processes like loin-loom weaving into a contemporary sculptural language.
A Central Saint Martins MA Furniture graduate, she was selected by Corinne Julius for the 10th edition of Future Heritage and named one of House & Garden’s "25 Rising Stars of 2025." With exhibitions across London, Paris, Copenhagen, and India, Shivangi’s work transforms overlooked narratives into vessels for memory, cultural continuity, and renewal.
My practice has grown from travelling across India and learning alongside communities whose knowledge is slowly fading. I begin with vernacular materials - wood, cane, woven fibres , and with field research into objects whose roles have shifted or now sit behind museum glass. I’m interested in what happens to form when function changes, and how tools and ritual objects carry memory forward.
Working between India and London, I collaborate closely with artisans, shaping grounded, sculptural volumes through hand processes and lived material knowledge. Increasingly, I am exploring how desire and myth travel through craft and culture and how inherited beliefs quietly shape the objects we make and the ones we long to keep.
