From old India to a new Sofa



Design duo Doshi Levien cite the above painting as inspiration for their new Sofa entitled amusingly enough "My Beautiful Backside" - personally I think the painting is nicer than the sofa but it's interesting to see the process exposed and great to see some non-Western source being used. The Sofa reminds me a bit of 1920s Art Deco, I can imagine people doing the Charleston around it.
