), a career-defining quest to infuse objects with ‘softness’ is as much a reflection of cross-cultural influence as it is place. Splitting time between their native India and adoptive United States, the duo live and work in a converted 1920s warehouse in San Francisco’s SoMa neighbourhood.
Along with zones with workbenches, supply storage and a packaging corner, the space also transforms into a photography studio from time to time. The lower levelis loosely organised as a workshop that changes based on the task at hand, and most of the furniture and equipment has been retrofitted with wheels so that the duo can quickly turn the studio into a dining room or entertainment space for games nights with friends. ‘The floors are concrete and can take it,’ adds Zacharias.
The benefit of operating in a live-work space – especially when one builds furniture and objects for the home – is that they get to live with what they produce. Scattered among the prototypes and material samples are items that the pair have collected over the years, including red fibreglass armchairs designed by Vico Magistretti for Artemide and glassware by Agustina Bottoni.‘Our practice is rooted in softness and the sentimentality of objects,’ says Chaudhary.
