Popcorn Atelier and Sumessh Menon have launched a groundbreaking furniture collection, Edition 01, which redefines luxury furniture with its unique blend of art and functionality. The collection features avant-garde designs that push the boundaries of traditional furniture-making.
The pieces in Edition 01 showcase meticulously crafted forms, intricate textures, and unexpected material combinations. Materiality is at the heart of the collection, with each piece featuring innovative materials and techniques. A standout feature is the use of Shou Sugi Ban, a Japanese technique of wood charring, which brings out the rich texture of oak and adds a timeworn aesthetic.
“Shou Sugi Ban enhances the wood’s grain and deepens its character,” says Deepika Goyal, Founder, Popcorn Atelier. “This technique was used in pieces like Oasis and Monolith, adding an elemental quality to the designs.”
The collection includes contrasting designs that embody different textures and forms. Dollop is fluid and organic, with supple leather “dollops” that reveal a shimmering interior, while Monolith is monumental and raw, with oak and liquid metal finishes that evoke the feeling of ancient landforms.
“The essence of luxury today is not about uniformity; it’s about depth, contrast, and storytelling,” adds Deepika Goyal.
