The document discusses The Digital Hands Project (2009-2011), a design project between partners in India and the UK. The project worked with a factory community in India addressing sustainable textile production, particularly wastewater and pollution. The researchers explored new ideas for printing and embroidery for interior fabrics with the factory's employees. They then helped market the product as embellished fabric wallpapers to the high end New York interiors market.
