Location

Chicago, Illinois

Two hanging oonjals, a common suspended sofa in South India, add rustic texture, tradition, and function to the space.

Hanging signage, made of powder coated steel and dyed, woven strapping, anchors the entrance.

Gradient dimensional slats add movement to the space. Staining each slat allows the rich texture of the wood to show through.
