Indika Creations’ Exhibition Of Antique Furniture – The Door

Shanta and Suresh Narayan of Indika Creations have a collection of antique wood furniture, doors and collectibles from all over the country. They have converted their passion into a labour of love by ‘restoring, modifying, mixing and matching’ old wooden pieces to suit today’s lifestyle without destroying their essential character. So the rosewood door from Kerala with its dramatic knob becomes a dining table or a superbly carved Andhra door depicting birdlife, Krishna, Kamadhenu, and so on becomes the main door of a house or a decorative piece.

Both Shanta and Suresh are involved in the process of ‘converting’ and restoring the old pieces, adding value to them with a touch of carving or a specially made tile. The duo team tries to preserve the past by giving every restored piece at least 100 more years of life.” The Indika Creations’ Antique Wood Exhibition also features joolas, rosewood cupboards from Goa, Indo-Portuguese pieces, magnificent, restored beds, planters’ chairs, French kompasses, a huge variety of chests and much more.

The exhibition, which opens on November 8 at Indika Creations, 12 A, (29), 4th Main Road, Gandhi Nagar, Adyar, will be on till November 20.
