Coonoor & Co is a contemporary journal and design studio shaped by slow, sensorial, and considered living. Its work draws from over a decade of engagement with the Nilgiri hills and their communities.
Design | Storytelling | Craft
We bring together narratives and artisanal works shaped by time, place, and long attention.
Our biannual journal gathers richly illustrated essays, conversations, and contemplations on everyday life โ nourishment, ecology, belonging, and well-being.
Our studio develops small-batch textiles and objects that honour indigenous knowledge while placing it in thoughtful contemporary dialogue. At the heart of this work is a long-standing engagement with the Toda women of the Nilgiris, custodians of an ancient geometric embroidery tradition passed through generations. Together, we have worked to reposition this practice โ preserving its integrity while allowing it to enter new conversations in textile, design, and art. The work remains slow, exacting, and small-batch by nature, shaped by the hands, memory, and authorship of the artisans themselves.
