Sitar chair
Designer: @ Saba
After discovering this sitar chair at Sabaitalia I am felling like singing or playing sitar!
Neither can I sing nor play sitar.
But can share these stunning sitar designs with you.
Sitar – the musical instrument (Hindustani classical music) itself comes with beautiful carvings and designs.

Can you look away from the beauty of this shell or a chair by the sea which rocks too! I can’t.
Along with the camera, Bengaluru based Indian photographer Pallon Daruwala uses light and space as his tools. His love for the uncluttered and clean lines is evident in his work.
A leader in his own right he is dubbed as an advertising or industrial photographer. But I refuse to agree. I call him documentative photographer of architecture and interiors. In fact he has done lot of fashion photography too.
What I find enduring about his work is that his images are intimate and distant at the same time!
I simply love his interiors and architectural images.
And his architectural images are pieces of art!
I have wasted 4 days deciding which images to put and which ones too leave out. I can’t do justice to his work if I put everything together.
So here is Pallon Daruwala’s work in two posts- 1st on architecture and 2nd on interiors.
Please donot use or copy these images without photographer’s written permission.
This bag bibi has captured Indian grandeur and royalty onto bags. A riot of Indian colours and sensibilities are portrayed with the use of mediums like wood carving, marble inlay, brass, copper and silver engravings, the use of ‘kinkhabs’, ‘jadau’, ‘kundan’, semi-precious stones with extremely rich embroidery.
