Bearing the mark of its materiality, the ensemble draws its name from the coordinates of Srinagar, Kashmir 34° N, 74°E where the craft originates.
A series of hand-sculpted objects and luminaires constructed from paper, infused with brutalism. Old world crafts meet modern abstractions.

Making
Constructed from waste paper pulp and natural binders, the focus is to unveil the unique materiality of paper pulp. To be mindful of environmental impact, we deter using chemical finishes.
Capturing the dispositions of paper-smooth, crumpled, creased, crushed, stained…almost as if it were showcasing its own life stages.
Each piece is meticulously hand-sculpted in several layers and sun dried, embracing slow production and indigenous processes. Made-to-order and hand-sculpted in India
