How we Live is Shaped by
What we Use
Products — from craft artefacts and logos to chairs, apps, buildings, and services — are active carriers of technology, culture, economics, and human intent. Their evolution reveals how societies change and how innovation happens.
ArcShapers was born from a simple realisation: the world makes sense when we look closely at the objects that shape it. As a dissertation student at CEPT University, reading the Production–Consumption–Mediation paradigm paper, Deepika felt a spark. It grew into a deeper academic pursuit during her MA in History of Design from The Royal College of Art, where she graduated with distinction. Over the past four years, working across the development sector, cultural institutions, and everyday industrial design, she saw how objects carry stories of technological shifts, cultural aspirations, economic change, and human creativity.
ArcShapers is about shaping the arcs of objects and ideas across time. By tracing how objects evolve, we uncover how societies think, how innovation takes shape, and how stories link where we have been to where we are going—allowing us to imagine and design more intentional futures.
