Art by Aarohi - Restored & handpainted furniture by Aarohi Singh
Thursday, August 21, 2014
When I first saw Aarohi Singh's work with furniture it really made me stop in my tracks. It carries her stamp of boldness and fearless use of colour. The texture, the honesty that working with hands brings to a piece of furniture is seen in abundance in this series of "restored, revived and re-imagined furniture".
Being a person who also designs products and sells them, I know this -
that it does not end with creating something beautiful. One has to then style & shoot
it beautifully, one has to market it. There is a different kind of
creativity required at every level. That is why this collection is so
dear to me. So stunningly created and equally boldly styled and shot.
"My work is about connections. And the idea of using something already existing and infusing it with fresh perspective to enhance pre existing memories
on a given piece is really what dreams are made of for me. With each of
these pieces that I rework I am looking to add a newer more
contemporary dimension to an old weather beaten piece. A box, a chair, a
trunk. Something that has history in its very grain, the nuts and
bolts, the handles that maybe broke because of the strain of carrying a
lifetime of someone’s personal belongings." - Aarohi Singh
