About the Award

In 2018, weaver-turned-designer Dhafali Devi from rural Rajasthan earned international acclaim when her rug Ujjwal won the Bronze at the European Product Design Awards in the Home Furnishings Textiles and Floor Coverings category. Part of Jaipur Rugs’ Artisan Originals collection, Ujjwal is a heartfelt tapestry of everyday life- featuring motifs like leheriya waves, earthen pots, and even her grandfather’s glasses. This award not only celebrated Devi’s personal creativity but also marked Jaipur Rugs as the first rug manufacturer to win Bronze at EPDA, spotlighting grassroots artistry on the global stage.
