This Indian Lattice two seater garden bench is part of the 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.
