Archaeological findings from the Bronze Age confirm that Bikilas<br \/>\nhave been part of Georgian culture for centuries\u2014carrying symbols, ornaments, and<br \/>\nmeaning through generations.<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 Inspiration<br \/>\nThe heart of this project comes from a deeply personal place.<br \/>\nMy inspiration was my great-grandfather\u2019s hand-carved Bikila, made from walnut<br \/>\nwood more than a century ago. This object, passed through time, carries not only<br \/>\nornament\u2014but memory, care, and the spirit of gathering.<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 The Collection<br \/>\nThis project reimagines Bikila in a contemporary form\u2014combining:<br \/>\n\u2022 Handbuilt and handpainted ceramic<br \/>\n\u2022 Laser-cut wooden ornaments<br \/>\n\u2022 Functional sculptural design<br \/>\nDiameter: 23 cm<br \/>\nFeature: Comfortable ergonomic handle for easy use<br \/>\nTwo main design directions:<br \/>\n1. Georgian Ornaments \u2013 rooted in local heritage<br \/>\n2. Asian Mandalas \u2013 inspired by universal harmony and symmetry<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 Function<br \/>\nBeyond baking, Bikila becomes a versatile creative tool:<br \/>\n\u2022 For stamping patterns on dough and confectionery<br \/>\n\u2022 For imprinting designs on clay surfaces<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 For decorating textiles with ornamental motifs<br \/>\nIt transforms from a kitchen object into a bridge between crafts.<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 Project Vision<br \/>\nThe goal of this project is to revive the tradition of Bikila, bringing back the joy of<br \/>\nshared rituals\u2014of baking together, of preparing for celebrations, of creating beauty with<br \/>\nhands.<br \/>\nIt is about restoring a forgotten gesture and turning it into a living experience again.<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 Project &amp;amp;
