Boshun - lounge chair for thinkers
The brief for our design project was to design a classic chair which is inspired by the state or cities of India alloted to us. The city given to us was Kolkata.
The scheme and vision was to push us to explore the possible amalgamation of tradition with ongoing contemporary trends.
