THE STORY

Behind the Kashi

Inspired by the azure tiles adorning Lahore's Mughal mosques, Kashi translates centuries of geometric perfection into functional art. Each angle is a meditation. Each line, a prayer carved into permanence. This is what happens when mathematics falls in love with heritage.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Hand-carved geometric patterns that echo the sacred geometry of subcontinental architecture. Every cut deliberate, every proportion intentional.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

From Concept to Creation

Kashi bench, inspiration phase
01

Inspiration

The Kashi was born from a meditation on bench design, a desire to create something that honors tradition while speaking to contemporary sensibilities.

02

Iteration

Our design team spent months studying historical references, sketching countless iterations, and collaborating with our master artisans in Pakistan to refine every proportion and detail.

Realization

Every proportion is tested, every joint is considered. The final design emerges only when form, function, and craftsmanship align perfectly.

DESIGN DETAILS

Sacred Geometry, Made to Sit On

Measuring 49 inches wide and 20 inches tall, the Kashi translates the azure tilework of Lahore's Mughal mosques into a bench you live with daily. Each carved angle echoes centuries of geometric tradition.

  • Hand-carved geometric patterns drawn from Mughal tile mosaics
  • A 20-inch seat height pairs naturally with entryways and bed-ends
  • Every angle and proportion is laid out by hand, then cut by hand
  • Solid Sheesham grain grounds the precise geometry in natural warmth
