The Wishing Tree by Arjun Rathi Design

Arjun Rathi continues to shape the future of Indian glass artistry. Crafted in collaboration with Rural Modern Glass Studio, The Wishing Tree is, a poetic light sculpture crafted from hand-blown glass and PU-coated mild steel. What moved us most about this piece is how it transforms a sacred ritual into something permanent. The glass threads recall wishes tied to banyan trees, while the sand from India’s holy rivers holds a devoted spirit within every piece. Whether placed indoors or outdoors, it casts light that feels spiritually soft.

LOOP Lounger with Ottoman by andblack design studio

Jwalant Mahadevwala and Kanika Agarwal of andblack design studio present the LOOP Lounger - a sculptural piece that challenges the very idea of what wood can do. Made from precision-sanded birch plywood, the lounger flows like a folded ribbon or a wave caught mid-motion. It’s incredibly thin, yet entirely selfsupporting. The visible grain moves with the curves, inviting you to recline and reflect upon possibilities wood offers.
