SIMENT COLLECTION 2.0
LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL '21
SIMENT has been inspired by Bangalore's urban water towers and the ubiquitous flyover infrastructure that has increasingly dominated the city in the last decade. Cast in concrete, SIMENT miniaturises functional architectural details like pipework, ladders, doorways, windows, and stairs, thereby rendering them into decorative elements.

Dakshin Scented Soy Candle
DAKSHIN translates from Kannada as ‘south’. So we created a long-lasting scented soy candle that represents the landscape, culture and food of India, and its metaphorical south, with a musky, deep scent and notes of patchouli, oakmoss and tar. The DAKSHIN scented soy candle is set in a black anodised spun metal container with a grey soapstone stone lid.
Uttara Scented Soy Candle
UTTARA means ‘north’ in Kannad. So we created this long-lasting scented soy candle to represent the landscape, culture and food of India, and its metaphorical north, with a fresh, light and citrusy scent and notes of Assam tea, pomelo and amber. The UTTARA scented soy candle is set in a gold anodised spun metal container with an alabaster stone lid.
