Arman Bansal

In 2024, Armaan founded Anda_ba, a multidisciplinary design studio that embodies the search for contemporary indian sensibility, an experiment across different scales of design. the studio is currently working on a fifty-piece object and furniture collection and an in-situ cast concrete house near chandigarh. the studio is inspired by the natural patinas found across indian heritage, whilst retaining london’s contemporary culture. the collaboration collection between essentia and anda_ba embraces gestural carvings on locally sourced stones _ indian basalt and sandstone. the minimal silhouettes formed by this collaboration reimagine traditional objects in modern indian society. they are suspended in a junction of heritage art and a minimal object. the dialogue between two countries, materials, and eras is what inspires this collection.
