I am Sukriti Singh, an interior and furniture designer passionate about creating spaces that unite aesthetics and functionality. With a Master of Arts in Design, my research on Design for Social Change focused on developing adaptable furniture for flood-prone urban areas in India, aiming to enhance community resilience through thoughtful design. Skilled in sketching and visualization, I enjoy translating ideas into impactful solutions that merge creativity with social purpose.
Designing Resilience
Rethinking Furniture Design as Emergency Infrastructure for Flood-Prone Areas
Adaptable furniture could play a crucial role in disaster preparedness, especially during floods where mobility and safeguarding belongings are critical. TARU is one such design—a resilient stool that functions as everyday furniture and transforms into a modular raft in times of crisis. By combining recycled plastic, canvas, and traditional materials, TARU reduces debris, supports survival needs, and empowers vulnerable communities with a sustainable, flexible solution.
