KESA INDIGO - Fabric armchair with armrests by Phantom Hands
Description
Uec Kesa is an armchair with armrests available in a series of fabric colors, designed and produced by the fabric designer Padmaja Krishnan. The fabric used for this chair is an up-cycled 'Patchwork Textile' - created through an intense process of collecting discarded fabric scraps, arranging them with care into specific patterns and sewing them one piece at a time by hand, and then by machine. The process of stitching and making enough fabric for a single chair takes several weeks of work and is done entirely by women artisans in Padmaja's workshop in Mumbai. Each chair we make in this collection will be truly unique, even though the they belong to a specific 'colourway' created by Padmaja.The blue/grey colourway seen in the image above is the first one launched and we plan to add more colourways to the collection soon.A special wood finish called P1 has been developed to complement the 'patchwork' aesthetic of the Padmaja Collection. P1 wood finish is achieved by a process that involves hand applying layers of black stain on the wood, light brushing with a steel brush and applying a final layer of hard wax oil.Padmaja Krishnan is a textile designer based in Mumbai. The KeSa collection by Padmaja continues the exploration of handmade Indian textiles for upholstery and the use of up-cycled material in the products Phantom Hands produces. The collection will launch with Upholstered Chairs and extend to seating cushions and other products.KeSa refers to single-layer garments stitched together by Buddhist monks from rags and discarded clothing. It is derived from the Sanskrit word Kāsāya which referred to the dark brown or saffron colour of these garments. By redefining the useless and discarded, choosing techniques that are slow and not fully controllable and finding effects in defects, Padmaja endeavours to break the tedium of mass manufacture and create textiles that can be labeled classic and modern at the same time. It follows the native tradition of respecting things instead of wanting more. Inspired by the traditional KeSa, these textiles are created through an intense process of collecting discarded fabric scraps, arranging them with care, sewing them one piece at a time by hand, and then by machine. These textiles are an ode to the transience of things, the flowing of time and a sort of rustic beauty - that imperfect and aged objects are often the most beautiful.Products in the KeSa Collection are available in a set of fabric 'colourways', designed and produced by textile designer Padmaja Krishnan. The fabric used for the KeSa collection is an up-cycled 'Patchwork Textile' - created through an intense process of collecting discarded fabric scraps, arranging them with care into specific patterns and sewing them one piece at a time by hand, and then by machine.

Each product of this collection is truly unique, even though they belong to a specific 'colourway' created by Padmaja. A specially designed cushion is optionally available for each seating model in the KeSa Collection. The cushion is designed keeping in mind the ergonomics and is called the 'Manju' cushion. Fabric colourways in the KeSa collection are complimented by a specific hand-stained, developed by Phantom Hands.
