"From a single material, a Hyderabad-based design studio creates a wide range of site-specific installations, furnishings, and decor. It's all in the name of the firm, The Wicker Story, which was founded in 2019 by architect Priyanka Narula. Capable of being formed into everything from abstract constructions to functional objects, the natural material lends itself a huge variety of pieces that vary in size and complexity."
"After refining the possibilities of the technique, including colorful dyes and a range of forms, the studio is honing a core collection that will continue to mature and grow. "We are currently translating those traditional wicker techniques into metal weaving; it's a rigorous research-and-development process that we look forward to debuting fully next year," the studio says. See more on The Wicker Story's website and Instagram."
The Wicker Story, founded in 2019 by architect Priyanka Narula in Hyderabad, uses wicker to produce site-specific installations, furnishings, and decor. Wicker can be formed into abstract constructions and functional objects, enabling a broad range of sizes and complexities. The practice draws from traditional Indian basket-weaving geometry and math while emphasizing organic forms, fluidity, and experimentation. Designs include swirling light fixtures, bean-shaped benches, and bulbous floor lamps with botanical references such as abstracted petals and vine-like tendrils. The studio experiments with colorful dyes and varied forms while developing a core collection and researching metal weaving adaptations for future work.
