Lota: Noted as a successful Indian design by American Industrial designers


The American Designers, Charles and Ray Eames who were invited by the Indian government to contribute to the development of design education in India has used Lota (the Indian vessel or water pot, usually made of brass or stainless steel) as an example to illustrate how a design constraints can be embraced and successfully applied. They define design as: “The sum of all constraints like constraints of price, of size, of strength, of balance, of surface, of time, and so forth. Each problem has its own peculiar list." The designer who recognise as many of the constraints as possible; his or her willingness and enthusiasm for working within these constraints would lead an amazing design like Lota.
