We re-edit historically important furniture from the Indian subcontinent, focusing on designs that are rooted in the cosmopolitan modernism that developed in the region in the second half of the 20th century.
Starting with Project Chandigarh, an homage to the modernist furniture created for the city of Chandigarh by a collective led by Pierre Jeanneret, the collection expanded to include furniture by Aditya Prakash, one of India’s pioneering modernists.
The Geoffrey Bawa Collection, launched in 2025, consists of 20 re-editions of furniture, lighting and objects designs by the late Sri Lankan architect’s practice for various projects between the 1960s and 1990s.
