Me & my cousin Nadeem a fashion designer were Sitting and talking with my sister when suddenly a thot struck my mind why not make a chair in a human pose on which we can drape a beautiful Indian saree, obviously our heads turned to Nadeem….yes Nadeem has to stitch the beautiful dress for this chair. (The attire of Bharatnatyam an Indian Dance Form.) So we started studying the different poses that can be made into a chair with comfort & balance. A prototype was made to understand the behavior of the furniture piece. Here are some pictures showing the development stages of the final product that’s not complete yet but will be done soon.
Indian dance forms have always intrigued people all over the globe. One evening when I was enjoying a stage performance of Indian classical dance, a thought stuck my mind like a jolt of current. Why not have a piece of furniture that would depict the beauty of the attire and the expressive poses of the dancer!
This chair is an out come of meticulous research on various poses of the Indian dance forms of “Bharatnayam”.
It has been crafted in solid wood maintaining both the delicate posture of the dance and the ergonomics for human seating.
