Phantom Hands TANGĀLI Teak day bed

The TANGĀLI daybed is part of the second collection designed by INODA+SVEJE for Phantom Hands.‎ Innovation in cane weaving was a core part of the design process for the TANGĀLI collection.‎ TANGĀLI means cool breeze in the Kannada language (spoken locally in Bangalore where the Phantom Hands workshop is based).‎ The TANGĀLI daybed is known as 'charpoy' in India and is an essential and historically significant piece of furniture.‎ Versions of the charpoy are seen in most homes in rural India even today.‎ They are usually made with wood and woven fabric or ropes.‎ Pierre Jeanneret is credited with designing several modernist variants of the daybed during his stay in Chandigarh in the 1950s, some just for his personal use.‎ Wood finish: Natural Teak / Dark Stain  Weave type: Wrap around weave Having seen the level of skill and dexterity of our cane weavers during their first visit in 2017, INODA+SVEJE pushed our weavers to make patterns that are not traditional to Indian furniture that is now the signature style of the TANGĀLI collection.‎ The contours of the pieces in this collection are completely shaped by hand.‎ We decided to name the collection after the cool monsoon breeze that accompanied their visit to Bangalore - TANGĀLI means cool breeze in the Kannada language (spoken locally in Bangalore where the Phantom Hands workshop is based).‎   Further info from manufacturer on TANGĀLI Phantom Hands
