The Business of Slow: Craft and Commerce
Reflections from the desk of Kiran Kittur, Founder of Arcisi.
How does a luxury brand reconcile high-volume B2B hospitality demands with an embroidery technique that can take up to a year to complete for a single tablecloth? The answer lies in the structuring of our design partnerships. By dividing our network into local artisan clusters, we maintain consistent production flows while preserving individual work rhythms. We do not rush the stitch. Instead, we match the architectural timelines of interior design projects, which naturally run across 6 to 12 weeks, with our handcraft cycles. This collaborative foresight transforms the product from a decoration choice into an architectural decision.
