The GiTAGGED® Channapatna Eco-friendly Dome Shape Grooved Pen Stand in Yellow-Black is a striking artifact of traditional craftsmanship from the Channapatna region of Karnataka, India. This unique desk accessory exemplifies the rich history and artistry that has been refined over centuries, originating from the region's legacy in wooden toy-making. Recognized under the Geographical Indications (GI) of Goods Act, this pen stand not only represents a product but also a significant cultural and historical ethos.
The primary material used for this pen stand is Hale wood, also known as Ivory wood. It is revered for its soft texture and light weight, making it particularly ideal for intricate turning and shaping on a lathe. Artisans from Channapatna employ this wood because of its durability and excellent properties that facilitate smooth and detailed workmanship.
The pen stand's finish is achieved through lacquer extracted from natural, vegetable dyes. This not only gives the product its vibrant yellow-black color palette but also ensures that the end product is non-toxic and skin-friendly. The use of vegetable dyes is a detail that underscores the eco-friendliness of this item, making it a conscientious choice for consumers aiming to support sustainable products.
The pen stand is designed with particular attention to practical use and aesthetic appeal.
Its compact size allows it to fit effortlessly on any desk or workspace, while its weight ensures stability.
The stand's dome shape is not only visually pleasing but also functional. The grooves etched into its surface provide a tactile quality and an essence of traditional fine craftsmanship. These grooves serve both a decorative and practical function, adding to the ease of handling the pen stand.
The yellow-black color scheme is more than just an aesthetic choice. It reflects the vibrancy and richness synonymous with Channapatna artistry. Vegetable dyes ensure that the color remains vibrant and does not fade over time, maintaining the beauty and charm of the pen stand.
The Channapatna craft is believed to have its origins in the 18th century, with a historical tie to Persian (Iranian) artisans. This rich tradition of woodcraft has evolved, making Channapatna toys and accessories renowned globally.
