The Vallam Seat draws inspiration from Kerala’s traditional “kettu vallam” boats, where timber frames are bent and stitched together using natural fibers such as coir. Investigating the intersection of boat-making and furniture design, curved panels form a section reminiscent of a boat, attached to a central rail. A minimal leg framework highlights the intricacies of the construction, while stitching in alternating dark and light indigo-dyed yarn echoes the Vallam Seat, celebrating craft, pattern, and heritage in a contemporary context.
