Kala Curry Radio at MILIMETER's Studio

At Milimeter, Amritanshu designs soulful objects that live with you, not just around you. MILIMETER's work is all about presence, material honesty, and stories told through form.

1. Tell us a little about yourself—who you are, what you do, and how art became a part of your journey.

I’m Amritanshu Prajwal, a product and furniture designer driven by craft, material,storytelling and timeless forms. I founded Milimeter, a studio rooted in craft, design, and sustainability. Art entered my life through making—wood, clay,metal —each medium is a language I use to create soulful, functional objects.

2. Art isn’t just something we see—it’s something we live with. How does art seep into your daily life? And what does art mean to you?

Art, to me, is presence - its being in the moment. it lives in the curve of a handle, the silence between two forms, the grain of wood under my hand. It’s not separate from life; it is life. In my daily rhythm, art seeps through making, observing, arranging, and simply paying attention. 

3. Why do you think handcrafted art matters today more than ever?

Handcrafted art matters today more than ever because it restores humanity in a fast, automated world. It carries the maker’s time, touch, and intention—qualities no machine can replicate. In a world of mass production, handcrafted work offers soul, story, and a deeper connection to culture, material, and the moment.

4. How many years have you been practicing this craft?

I’ve been practicing and exploring this craft for over 6 years, evolving through hands-on work with wood, clay, and materials that speak of both tradition and innovation..

5. What makes an artist an artist? (like who can call themselves an artist/what counts as being an artist)

Anyone who creates with purpose — who observes, questions, and expresses something deeply personal is an artist to me.

6. What does being an artist/brand that sells art mean to you? 

Being an artist—and a brand that sells art—means holding space between creation and commerce. It’s about translating emotion, craft, and story into objects people can live with.

7. How long does it usually take to create one piece from start to finish?

The time to create one piece varies widely—from a few days to several weeks , depending on the material, complexity, and intention behind it. 

8. What drew you to the medium(s) you work with?

I was drawn to materials like wood and clay because they’re alive - they respond, resist, and reveal. Wood carries time in its grain; clay remembers every touch. These mediums let me shape with both hands and heart.

9. How do you see art products being perceived in an Indian market?

There’s a growing appreciation for handcrafted, well-designed pieces—especially among younger audiences seeking authenticity over mass-produced goods.

10. There is a clear emphasis on clean lines and geometric forms in your artwork. What draws you to this particular aesthetic?

I’m drawn to clean lines and geometric forms because they evoke clarity, balance, and timelessness. In a world full of noise, this aesthetic feels meditative—allowing the material, craft, and emotion to speak without distraction.

11. Ethical sourcing and craftsmanship are central to Milimeter. Could you walk us through how you source materials like the clay used in your sculptures?

We work closely with local suppliers and artisans to ensure the clay is naturally sourced, processed, free from industrial additives, and aligned with our commitment to sustainability and slow design. Each batch is tested in-studio for texture, glazes, and firing behavior.

12. You mention how Canis Lupus is a piece that feels equally at home in a contemporary living space or a gallery. How do you view the boundaries between art meant for the home and art meant for the museum? Is there a fixed criterion that separates the two?

For me, the line between home and museum is beautifully blurred. Art doesn’t lose meaning because it’s lived with—in fact, it gains warmth and intimacy. A piece like Canis Lupus carries the same emotional weight whether it’s on a plinth or a shelf. The distinction isn’t in the object, but in the context. Museums frame art as heritage; homes, allow it to become part of daily life.

13. Milimeter is known for producing limited-edition sculptures.In you opinion, how does that influence or reflect a consumer’s relationship with art?

Limited-edition sculptures create a deeper, more personal connection between the consumer and the artwork. Knowing a piece is one of only a few invites a sense of intimacy, value, and responsibility—it becomes less about possession and more about preservation. At Milimeter, this approach encourages thoughtful consumption and honors the slow, intentional nature of craft. It transforms the buyer from a consumer into a custodian of art and story.
