Old structures and heritage symbolise the culture of a place, giving it a unique identity. In Chhattisgarh, the Gond tribe traditionally practised godna, a form of tattoo art with deep cultural significance. Each motif in Godna holds a special meaning, often tied to religious beliefs and healing properties, making these tattoos highly valued. However, the traditional art of Godna is gradually fading away in modern times. By studying tribal art applied by the original designs of Godna, the study will indicate the value of Home Furnishing Articles. The furnishing articles will improve the design and quality of the indoor articles. The research paper will indicate how home furnishing items, explore and influence design trends, crossover designs, and public perception. By analysing principles of design, the paper explores that home furnishing items can incorporate elements of Godna art while meeting specific performance and aesthetic requirements. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to the enrichment and innovation of Godna art motifs, thereby elevating the cultural value of related products.
