How we Live is Shaped by
What we Use

ArcShapers was born from a simple realisation: the world begins to make sense when we look closely at the objects that shape it.

This insight first emerged during Deepika’s dissertation at CEPT University, where engaging with the Production–Consumption–Mediation paradigm sparked a lasting curiosity about how objects move through systems of design, industry, and society. The idea matured during her MA in History of Design at The Royal College of Art, where she graduated with distinction and deepened her exploration of how material culture reflects broader technological, cultural, and economic transformations.

Over the past five years, working across the development sector, cultural institutions, and industrial design contexts, she has observed how objects carry within them layered stories—of technological shifts, cultural aspirations, economic change, and human creativity.

ArcShapers shapes the arcs of objects and ideas across time.
By tracing how objects evolve, it uncovers how societies think, how innovation takes form, and how narratives connect past trajectories to future possibilities—enabling organisations to design more intentional and informed futures.
