Tangāli Bench

The Tangāli Bench was the first product prototyped during our second visit to the phantom hands’ workshop in August 2018. Having seen the level of skill and dexterity of their cane weavers during our first visit, we patterns that are not traditional to Indian furniture. The contours of the bench are completely shaped by hand. The bench can be used either for seating or as a side table.

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).
