When balanced properly, there is something beautiful about the combination of opposites. Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien have fused a fresh "unity of opposites" by combining the precision of Italian production, and the handmade one-of-a-kind quality of Indian fabric stitching. This global collaboration brings together a series of benches made of black lacquered beech upholstered with Indian fabric.
In Nipa Doshi's words: "Globalisation and internationalisation are seen as the destruction of local cultures and environmental resources. We like to see globalisation as a way of bringing together diversity and breaking down standardisation". JGB
