pWould you rest your derriere on a wooden chair that took longer to make than your entire living room? Titled 15,556 and curated by Pundoleandrsquo;s for architect Rooshad Shroff, the exhibit brings you furniture that yokes together handcraft, technology, and design to be art and instrument in equal measure./p pandnbsp;/p pBringing craft from souvenir shops into the living room, Shroff goes about reinventing the wheel when it comes to dandeacute;cor. Marrying technology and handicraft, the upcoming exhibit, the preview of which will be held at the Bikaner House on 17th of February, will showcase skills he holds the global patent for.andnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pThe exhibition, comprising 26 one-of-a-kind pieces, displays techniques that combine embroidery with wood, colour, sanding and marble carvings respectively. andldquo;My work internationally, despite being seduced by technology initially, lacked two thingsandmdash;it lost authorship geographically and the human touch that comes from artisans,andrdquo; Shroff says./p pandnbsp;/p p style="text-align: center;"/p pandnbsp;/p pBringing the focus back on craftsmanship, the number 15,556 is indicative of the total number of man hours that went into making the collection. Made by hand, most of the pieces are dismantle-able and donandrsquo;t depend on screws and metal fasteners, and often the wood joinery technique becomes part of an extended design.andnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pThis is a welcome step towards Slow Design using sustainable materials where the final product is a andldquo;culmination of research that has been going on for five years. Till now they have been prototypes, this is the first time people can come, see and experience them.andrdquo; The crafts used put the collection in an effective geographical context because there are only certain clusters can produce this, which in turn becomes a signature for the world to recognise.andnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pShroff believes, andldquo;This has given a new vocabulary to traditional handicraftandhellip;andrdquo; and shows a way where technology will take handicrafts further into the digital age./p pandnbsp;/p pThe exhibition runs from 18th February- 3 Marchandnbsp;2017 at Bikaner House, Delhi; and from 7th June 2017, Pundoleandrsquo;s, Mumbai (also available for sale)./p pandnbsp;/p pstrongMore On andgt;andgt; a href="http://www.luxpresso.com/homes-real-estate/home-decor" target="_blank"Home Decor/a/strong/p
