andblack – LOOP Rocker

This chair doesn’t play by the rules. No conventional backrest, no seat—just you, looping into a staring contest with its doubly curved, fluid surface. Designed by Jwalant Mahadevwala for andblack, it employs a vernacular technique primarily celebrated in intricate wooden temple architecture—handwork by trained artisans who carve and sculpt. The dynamic direction of Birch grains and the structural balance of the material come together to create a surface optimised to a thickness that makes it self-supporting.
