Lets go mad!

This post is on my favorite topic-quirky furniture.Some of it is recycled furniture which instantly ups the cool quotient. And some of it just some assembled pieces done in a fun way. Found a lot of stuff on this pretty interesting website trendhunter.com

Personally, I don't if I really like it cuz its slightly shabby but its innovative. I am guessing the cushions been stuck together through some means otherwise it would be a pain as they would keep falling off!

Well, these coil chairs are a bit creepy for me but like I said I totally respect the innovation. The ones below look quite okay.



This one below is my favourite. This "alien" couch is sooo cute :) Love it.

Want the soothing effect of fresh green grass in a cramped urban terrace or balcony of your abode? Living Lawn Chaise is a wonderful and innovative creation by Deger Cengiz. BTW, this is real grass! I think its a super cool idea. Love it. Must check out the voosfurniture site. Damn interesting. There is a cactus chair too :)


The Number Game

Hellooo guys,

Sorry for not posting since so long. Have been too busy with sick people and hospitals. Anyways, the festive season is here and I am damn excited.

Just saw this really optimistic news piece on furniture growth in India which says "The furniture sector in India is estimated to grow at an annual rate of 20% while that of furniture imports at a rate of 64% per year. The sector’s strategy is to better meet domestic needs and also increase exports of Indian made furniture." Cool na...If you want to get into the details on the report, click here.

Go Ethnic

(Picture source: AntiquesIndian)

Personally, I am not too fond of ethnic furniture but for some people ethnic is a trademark and they like to reflect it through their abodes. You can either adorn your entire house with ethnic / antique furniture or some selected places like your living room. In any case, I found some cool stuff online. Here it is :

AntiquesIndian (based in Jodhpur) has some great ethnic stuff. Must check out their catalog online. A LOT of variety and a lot of products! Then there is Antique India Furniture (again, based in Jodhpur) which seems like a good option.

Guys, if you have too much money to splurge then there is silver furniture that you can decorate your house with. The Vinayak in Jodhpur is a good place to look at. They even have representatives in UAE and UK. They have silver beds, tables, chairs and silver thrones too!!! Go crazy!!!:p

Phillips, a south Mumbai based outlet, has some interesting ethnic furniture including beds, chests, bookshelves, writing desks etc and a good online catalog. I like!

Through this blogpost, I figured there is good stuff to be explored in the local market of Oshiwara, Andheri. Read the post for more details.

Now, I don't know if its antique or not but this Delhi based outfit, Delhi Furniture Company, offers carved wooden ethnic furniture. Check it out.
