Online furniture start-up InnoDesigns has paid a tribute to India's furniture artists with Beats of Marapani, a groovy music track that seamlessly fuses real carpentry sounds with the melodic tunes of Onam. The idea was to bring the focus back to local furniture makers, according to InnoDesigns, and also to prep up the consumers in Kochi and Calicut for Onam and festive offers. "For us the brief was clear. Bring alive the brand's belief that the furniture manufacturer is the protagonist here. So we weaved his craftsmanship and the festival of Onam to make a call-to-action that people of Kerala find relevant and worth advancing" explains Henry Moirang of LeapX, the creative agency for InnoDesigns.
