THE BANGLE VASE

THE BANGLE HAS ALWAYS JUST BEEN THERE. ON A MOTHER'S WRIST, AT THE BOTTOM OF A JEWELLERY BOX, PASSED DOWN WITHOUT MUCH THOUGHT. WE CHOSE IT BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE HOLDS EVERYDAY LIFE QUITE LIKE A BANGLE.

THE BANGLE HAS ALWAYS JUST BEEN THERE. ON A MOTHER'S WRIST, AT THE BOTTOM OF A JEWELLERY BOX, PASSED DOWN WITHOUT MUCH THOUGHT. WE CHOSE IT BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE HOLDS EVERYDAY LIFE QUITE LIKE A BANGLE.

BANGLES ARE A QUINTESSENTIAL ACCESSORY IN THE SOUTH ASIAN CONTEXT. THEY SIGNIFY THE DIFFERENT PHASES OF A WOMAN’S LIFE AND REPRESENT THE INHERENT VERSATILITY OF HER ROLES. WHILE THEY ARE BOTH NOSTALGIC AND UBIQUITOUS, OUR INTENTION IS TO EVOKE THOSE DEEP-SEATED
EMOTIONS BY PRESENTING THEM IN A BRAND NEW MANNER.

THIS VASE, DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE A STACK OF BANGLES,
OFFERS A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON A CLASSIC CULTURAL ELEMENT. THE USE OF STAINLESS STEEL IS ENTIRELY INTENTIONAL. IT AIMS TO BRING VISIBILITY TO
MATERIALS INNATE TO OUR CULTURE THAT WERE OFTEN DISCOUNTED DUE TO A PERSISTING COLONIAL HANGOVER.

PLAYING WITH MODERN NOSTALGIA, A SOUTH ASIAN RENAISSANCE.
