Anagram Architects, New Delhi, brick screen wall

This brick screening wall by Anagram Architects, New Delhi, is a reminder of how imaginatively this material can be used. The wall flanks the South Asian Human Rights Documentation Centre, a Delhi-based NGO. It’s strangely reminiscent of the wall in Harry Potter whose bricks rotate in a complicated sequence and then magically open out onto Diagon Alley. The bricks in this wall, too, almost seem to be in motion. From Indian by Design.

Shingle pillow by Anek Taanka

The textile company Anek Taanka, which means “infinite stitches,” was founded by Indian textile designer Varsha Sharma. She has said that “my challenge is to create pieces of textile that could inspire spaces to be designed around them rather than the other way around.” That’s a bold ambition but this pillow makes you think she could actually do it. Found on Indian by Design.
