This Indian Lattice three seater garden bench is based on my Indian Lattice Collection
which I designed 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.
