About The Event

Structure | Inversion | Equilibrium.

With over a decade in design experimentation behind us, the latest collection from RooshadSHROFF juxtaposes asymmetry with poise, stone with metal and inspirations born of nature with exquisite workmanship, resulting in a testament to enduring contradictions in form.

Balance began with a single piece in 2021, representative of pebbles uniquely stacked atop each other on a natural landscape. The years that followed yielded new inspiration born of the same concept — structural anomalies in nature — resulting in a distinct line of furniture and accessories.

With a dominant curvilinear theme presiding over cantilevered structure, the collection downplays surface intricacies in favour of form, and incorporates various new luxurious mediums. White, green and pink onyx dominate accents of semi-precious red jasper, lapiz lazuli and mookaite, their deep richness of palette seeking to elevate base tones. Metal makes its debut; using the casting process, we have designed several key components using premium white bronze, which patinates over time. Juxtaposed against the enduring qualities of stone, its steady, graceful wane reflects the duality of aging.

An homage to the skills of our diligent craftsmen across Jaipur and Mumbai, Balance is, quite simply, a symphony of paradox — an amalgamation of seemingly gravity-defying displays that render the laws of physics inconsequential, while in reality it relies solely on the uncompromising principles of structure.
