Unveiling the Layam Collection by Tusker Katha Inspired by Kathakali and Kerala Design

Tusker Katha, a renowned furniture design and craft studio in Bangalore, presents their latest Layam Collection, inspired by the rich traditions of Kathakali and Kerala design. This exceptional collection celebrates Indian culture, craftsmanship, and artistry. 

The Layam Collection features the following standout pieces:

Thiranottam Bed: Inspired by Kathakali, the classical dance of Kerala, the Thiranottam Bed's headboard mimics the gesture of a Kathakali actor gripping the curtain's top edge before a performance. 

Abhinaya Bedside Table: This bedside table incorporates a handle design inspired by the distinctive white makeup of Kathakali dancers, infusing cultural storytelling into its functional form.

Kochi Bed and Side Table: Featuring fine details reminiscent of traditional Kerala furniture, the Kochi Bed and Side Table evoke nostalgia and homeliness with double rounded beadings, curves, and soft turned details.

Layam Dining Set and Console Units: The dining set in this collection harmonizes wood and brass with a multi-fabric approach, combining practicality and visual interest. The seats and front of the backrests are upholstered in easy-to-clean, stain-resistant fabric, while the backs feature detailed embroidered fabric. This dual-fabric design creates a striking visual appeal from the living room. A chest of drawers with wooden details reminiscent of musical beats stands behind the dining set.

Gubbi Sofa: This masterpiece, adorned with a block-printed temple border design, exemplifies the beauty of handcrafted details. The neutral beige upholstery makes the Gubbi Sofa a versatile addition to any decor.

The Layam Collection showcases Tusker Katha’s dedication to preserving traditional craftsmanship while meeting contemporary tastes. These meticulously crafted pieces are designed to enhance modern living spaces with a unique blend of tradition and modernity.
