‘Aasmani Seerhi- stairway to sky’ is a coffee table which is part of the ‘Imārat’ series of furniture items. “Once any object serves its primary utilitarian purpose, art is free to bestow it” believes the designer. Various staircases, framed in arches, carved in a block of travertine symbolically lead to the sky. Beauty of the travertine along with its veins and pores imparts a worn-out character to the surfaces of this handcrafted product.
