TASTEMAKER’S EDIT WITH ANANTH RAMASWAMY

“A classic Chester’s piece. I’m naturally drawn to furniture that is beautifully made, generous and useful, and that can comfortably move

between traditional and contemporary interiors.”

“I love the lightness of this piece. The tubular metal and woven cane feel distinctly modern, but there’s something familiar about the idea

of the diwan.”

“Quiet at first glance, but incredibly intricate up close. I love objects where pattern and craft reveal themselves slowly rather than

demanding attention.”

“I love the density of detail here. It takes the familiar language of inlay and turns it into something functional, decorative and quite timeless.”

“These have such personality. I like that they sit somewhere between sculpture and object: beautifully made, slightly strange and full of humour.”

“A very simple everyday ritual turned into something sculptural and playful. I particularly like the hand painted red details against the

white ceramic.”

“The grid is wonderfully simple, but the colour and texture stop it from feeling severe. It feels graphic, warm and easy to live with.”

“I was immediately drawn to the pomegranate and its extraordinary symbolism across cultures. It feels familiar and slightly surreal at

the same time.”

“Almost architectural in its simplicity. I love how such a small functional object can be reduced to a strong, beautifully balanced form.”

“I love when an everyday object carries a reference to architecture and place without becoming overly literal. The green gives it an

especially beautiful, almost patinated quality.”
