Scarlet Splendour – Animagic

“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” Pushing the boundaries of shape and form, Matteo’s ANIMAGIC collection is a celebration of animal forms in andromorphous design. An odd mix of humour, luxury and utility, these pieces go beyond being furniture – they are magical, sculptural objects, almost life like, that make you smile every time you glance at them.

Scarlet Splendour – Animagic

Wedged somewhere in fantasy land between Willy Wonka and Alice in Wonderland, these luxury designer pieces will blow your mind. Meet Scarlet Splendour.

Scarlet Splendour: the first time we’ve ever used the company name, which describes exactly who they are, as the title of an article. The hot colours of India, the hot stars of the silver screen and the splendour that all this evokes. Add a large dollop of humour, the extraordinary design skills of its founders, Indian craftsmanship and best of what Italy offers the world of international furniture design, and success is almost a given.

Almost, but not quite. Like a meal prepared by a top chef, all the ingredients must be measured and fall in exactly the right places, and of course, a key element is entrepreneurship. Siblings Ashish Bajoria and Suman Kanodia debuted their first collection of 15 pieces, titled Vanilla Noir, during the Milan Design Week in 2015, paying homage to the era of silent movies with their light-hearted irony and underlying depth in black and white, and they pulled it off with only three month’s preparation. Little wonder then that this Kolkata-based brand has expanded so rapidly.

More than 50 trips to various Italian cities and regions later, the founders realised that bringing European design and Indian craftsmanship together is what creates the kind of previously unseen synergy they were aiming for. Scarlet Splendour successfully transcends geographical borders while staying true to its mission: to preserve the artisan traditions of India and open them up to the rest of the world through top international design.

Above: The Ciuco Cabinet by Matteo Cibic is a decadent conversation piece.

The pieces, whose design link to India is mainly in the colours and certain design details of the whole, veer between surrealism, absurdism, Art Deco, the playful works of artists like Barry Flanagan and Jeff Koons, and not least, functionalism, although in time, perhaps, they themselves will become an “ism”.

Each piece is startling: “For us the drama is all about standing out and creating impact”, and each has been designed by the founders or their top-notch collaborators and made to the highest standards of Indian craftsmanship. Each also has an element of fun, from the rabbits’ heads and ears on otherwise fairly sober drinks cabinets to the outrageous shapes, doors and other details. To see their Madame Verdoux cabinet from the Vanilla Noir collection, for example, is to both have a laugh at the absurdity of a two-metre high water bottle and to look into the colonial past of India itself. To see the spidery legs on their Nika Zupanc pieces, which seem to float above the floor, is to realise the genius of 1950s furniture design, and to see the 88 Secrets Bar cabinet is to know that these people have a fine respect for the Art Deco period. Plainly put, they know their stuff.

UDesign talked to Ashish Bajoria shortly after the release of the brand’s latest collection, which brings together designers from Italy, Slovenia and Holland.

The motto of your company is “Craft, drama and luxury”. Where does the drama fit in?

Each product is hand-made, each is a luxury piece, and each is dramatic and maximalist as well. We know it creates a certain drama in the space around it, wherever it is. For us the drama is about standing out and creating impact. I don’t want to call them statement pieces, but they are indeed dramatic.

Scarlet Splendour – Animagic

“Hasta que uno haya amado a un animal, una parte del alma no está despierta”. Empujando los límites de la forma y la forma, la colección ANIMAGIC de Matteo es una celebración de las formas de animales con un diseño andromorfo. Una extraña mezcla de humor, lujo y utilidad, estas piezas van más allá de ser muebles: son objetos mágicos, escultóricos, casi reales, que te hacen sonreír cada vez que los miras.

SCARLET-SPLENDOUR-1animagic

Esplendor Escarlata – Animagic

Enclavadas en algún lugar de la tierra de fantasía entre Willy Wonka y Alicia en el país de las maravillas, estas lujosas piezas de diseño te dejarán boquiabierto. Conoce a Scarlet Splendor.

Scarlet Splendor: la primera vez que usamos el nombre de la empresa, que describe exactamente quiénes son, como el título de un artículo. Los colores cálidos de la India, las estrellas calientes de la pantalla plateada y el esplendor que todo esto evoca. Agregue una gran cantidad de humor, las extraordinarias habilidades de diseño de sus fundadores, la artesanía india y lo mejor de lo que Italia ofrece al mundo del diseño internacional de muebles, y el éxito es casi un hecho.

Casi, pero no del todo. Al igual que una comida preparada por un chef superior, todos los ingredientes deben medirse y ubicarse exactamente en los lugares correctos y, por supuesto, un elemento clave es el espíritu empresarial. Los hermanos Ashish Bajoria y Suman Kanodia estrenaron su primera colección de 15 piezas, titulada Vanilla Noir, durante la Semana del Diseño de Milán en 2015, rindiendo homenaje a la era de las películas mudas con su ironía desenfadada y su profundidad subyacente en blanco y negro, y Lo logró con solo tres meses de preparación. No es de extrañar entonces que esta marca con sede en Calcuta se haya expandido tan rápidamente.

Más de 50 viajes a varias ciudades y regiones italianas más tarde, los fundadores se dieron cuenta de que unir el diseño europeo y la artesanía india es lo que crea el tipo de sinergia nunca antes vista que buscaban. Scarlet Splendor trasciende con éxito las fronteras geográficas mientras se mantiene fiel a su misión: preservar las tradiciones artesanales de la India y abrirlas al resto del mundo a través del mejor diseño internacional.

Above: The Ciuco Cabinet by Matteo Cibic is a decadent conversation piece.

Las piezas, cuyo diseño se vincula principalmente con la India, están principalmente en los colores y ciertos detalles de diseño del conjunto, vuelan entre el surrealismo, el absurdo, el Art Deco, las obras lúdicas de artistas como Barry Flanagan y Jeff Koons, y no menos importante, el funcionalismo, aunque en tiempo, tal vez, ellos mismos se convertirán en un “ismo”.

Cada pieza es sorprendente: “Para nosotros, el drama se trata de destacar y crear impacto”, y cada una ha sido diseñada por los fundadores o sus colaboradores de primer nivel y realizada con los más altos estándares de artesanía india. Cada uno también tiene un elemento de diversión, desde las cabezas y las orejas de los conejos en los gabinetes de bebidas bastante sobrios hasta las formas escandalosas, las puertas y otros detalles. Ver su gabinete Madame Verdoux de la colección Vanilla Noir, por ejemplo, es reírse ante lo absurdo de una botella de agua de dos metros de altura y observar el pasado colonial de la India. Ver las patas de araña en sus piezas de Nika Zupanc, que parecen flotar sobre el piso, es darse cuenta del genio del diseño de muebles de la década de 1950, y ver el gabinete 88 Secrets Bar es saber que estas personas tienen un gran respeto por el Arte. Periodo de deco. En pocas palabras, ellos saben lo que hacen.

UDesign habló con Ashish Bajoria poco después del lanzamiento de la última colección de la marca, que reúne a diseñadores de Italia, Eslovenia y Holanda.

El lema de su empresa es “Artesanía, drama y lujo”. ¿Dónde encaja el drama?

Cada producto está hecho a mano, cada uno es una pieza de lujo, y cada uno es dramático y maximalista también. Sabemos que crea un cierto drama en el espacio que lo rodea, donde sea que esté. Para nosotros, el drama se trata de destacar y crear impacto. No quiero llamarlos piezas de declaración, pero de hecho son dramáticas.
