This chair forms part of a collaborative series that explores furniture as both a functional object and a surface for intricate visual storytelling. Made from repurposed scaffolding boards and conceived as a functional artwork, the piece invites close looking as well as physical engagement.
The collaboration features artist Anoushka Sachdev, whose practice draws inspiration from repeated textile patterns, ancient Indian and Chinese illustration, and comic books. Working primarily in black Indian ink, she merges pattern and illustration to create dense, layered surfaces where images reveal themselves gradually. Her work often hides figurative elements within decorative structures, encouraging sustained attention and discovery.
This chair is based on her ongoing body of work Ladybird, translating the language of her large-scale ink paintings into a three-dimensional form. The surface is covered in intricate black ink imagery, where pattern and illustration merge into a single visual field. Referencing historical motifs while remaining contemporary, the piece blurs the boundaries between drawing and object. Through this collaboration, the chair becomes a site of quiet complexity, rewarding slow looking and reflecting the evolving nature of Anoushka’s practice.
