A Flower for Pindi, Dillitown & Lahori

In my last post there has been heated discussion via comments about the current terror attacks on Mumbai. There is in depth first person account + analysis, a word of advice and some very strong words.

(Still seething with anger) in wake of a bit inflammatory situation arising between India and Pakistan I want to say something albeit differently (i.e. design way)!

And Lahore

from Designflute  (because these are my views) and

By Meera Sethi (as these are her creations)

I think an artist becomes immensely successful when a common man is able to express his/her views through an artist’s versatile work.

Here I am expressing my geopolitical views through artist Meera Sethi’s beautiful geometric patterns.

Make no mistake ? this flower is only for people of Pakistan and India and for all peace loving beings! THIS IS NOT For politicians of these two countries or for that matter any country!!

 

Now about the artist whose work is so voluble.

Meera Sethi is a talented multi-disciplinary artist living in Canada and New Delhi.

Her design studio misc. (meera sethi creative) specializes in digital and print communications, branding, photography and illustration.

Meera talks of creating positive changes through her work.

(Since last two days I am trying to write this post, deleting it, rewriting it, simply pouring extreme-st of anger. Unable to go ahead and post something else; I decided to write nothing and just put two random images of Taj Mahal Palace hotel. You can go here for a virtual tour of the iconic hotel.)

High and Low ways of living

 

Flying  carpet armchair

Designer: Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007)

@ Friedman Benda Gallery – selected works exhibited (May 1- June 21, 2008)

While watching TV or reading a book, ‘a strange thing happens’ to me. I am comfortably sitting on a chair or sofa and then I end up sitting on the floor!

How this happens; go unnoticed! Perhaps between the sofa and floor rests some curling up, stretching and bending activities!!

I do not know with how many of you ‘this strange thing happens’ but to my kind of people these furniture pieces are remarkably comfortable and suitable!

I wonder why many more such designs are not there?

High and Low living

This furniture responds to variations in sitting habits of different cultures and situations. So the western chaise lounge is extended to a carpet of eastern craftsmanship.

material: felt and wool

Luxury of sitting in countless ways! Indeed!
