I designed the Indian Lattice Collection after a trip in 1984 to India and Nepal
inspiration coming from art and architecture of the Mogul India to Indian Raj. The
lattice panels of the backs are strongly reminiscent of the lattice tracery found in
Nepalese and Indian architecture. The seats offer a combination of Indian/oriental
style but equally an elegant Victorian style influenced from Empire. The Indian
Lattice motif on the back and front under rails of the seats is also used as under
rails on Indian Lattice tables. This design feature can be found across the Indian Sub
Continent and commonly around the rim of the Indian Ocean. I have even seen a similar
design cut into rusting corrugated iron on a shack on the island of Zanzibar. The
Indian Lattice four seater garden bench is a long seat for some reason often purchased
for old rectory gardens!
