IRIS Jaipur: Showcasing India’s Craft at the Heart of Global Diplomacy

 

New Delhi : Be it the G20 Presidency Sherpa meet, the G20 summit, or the visit of Vice President JD Vance, Iris Jaipur is always at the heart of cultural diplomacy, showcasing India’s deep cultural heritage and exquisite craftsmanship to elevate the mood of the summit and create a positive atmosphere as the priority partner for tableware and silverware.

Cultural diplomacy plays a vital role in strengthening international relations by promoting mutual understanding and respect through art, heritage, and tradition. Unlike political diplomacy, it connects nations on a human level, using culture as a universal language.

IRIS is a designer, manufacturer, and exporter of luxury metalware. It is the work of a third-generation family-run business in Jaipur, India. The handcrafted designs, created by skilled local artisans from villages around Jaipur, reflect century-old motifs traditionally etched on gold and silver for maximum visual and emotional impact. These designs evoke the grandeur of erstwhile royalty, when art and design were integral to the architecture and aesthetics of royal life.

Steeped in legacy and tradition, IRIS merges historical elegance with modern luxury, serving as a bridge between India’s regal past and its contemporary global presence. Whether displayed in diplomatic forums or gracing elite interiors, each piece tells a story of timeless artistry, cultural pride, and enduring excellence.

IRIS Jaipur’s craftsmanship has redefined luxury dining experiences in some of the world’s most distinguished hotels. Its legacy is deeply intertwined with the finest names in global hospitality, including Rambagh Palace,Leela Palaces, ITC Hotels (notably the prestigious ITC Maurya), Taj Palaces, Oberoi Hotels, The Lodhi, Hyatt Regency, Shangri-La, Hotel Ashoka, Radisson Blu Plaza, JW Marriott, Sheraton, and The Leela Ambience Convention, among other esteemed venues. Each collaboration is a testament to IRIS’s commitment to timeless elegance, artisanal excellence, and the seamless integration of Indian heritage into contemporary luxury.

According to Rajeev Pabuwal, Founder of IRIS Jaipur, “By showcasing a country's identity through crafts, performances, and exchanges, cultural diplomacy helps dispel stereotypes, builds trust, and enhances soft power. It also opens doors for tourism, trade, and global partnerships, while fostering long-term people-to-people connections.”
