Phantom Hands

The Room Divider/Folding Screen evolved out of our collaboration with Amsterdam based designers X+L (Xander Vervoort + Leon van Boxtel).

Our furniture production process leaves us with a number of smaller pieces of teak wood that cannot be used for regular furniture. Instead of wasting this precious teak, we decided to create products that are designed to utilize these pieces. X+L loved the concept of using recycled teak and the Room Divider was the first product they designed for this collection.

Each screen is unique and has slightly different blocks. Each piece is shaped and polished by hand prior to assembly, making it a labor and skill intensive process.

The Coffee Table is a contemporary re-edition based on similar designs created for Chandigarh. The upper ‘U’ portion of the table is made entirely from teak veneer on plywood. The horizontal and vertical pieces of veneer that make up the upper portion have a visible 45 degree joint between them. The 8mm glass table top is supported by a wooden stiffener that runs along the length of the table, just below the glass. There are two other solid teak braces that run along the length of the table and on which the the top U base rests. The V legs of the table are made of solid teak and are rounded along the edge.

The Muṅgāru Dining Chair is part of the 'contemporary modern' Muṅgāru Collection designed by Milan based furniture designers INODA+SVEJE exclusively for Phantom Hands. The Dining Chair is similar in form to the Lounge Chair from the same collection, but is designed to make it compatible for use at a dining table or desk. 

The design draws inspiration in equal parts from the modernist legacy of Chandigarh’s mid-century furniture, and the level of skill that traditional Indian craft based production offers.
