The product Symphony is an inspired by the beautiful wall partitions or room dividers that adds character, ambience and charm to space. Symbolic in style, this inspired wall partition makes reference to the outdoors, but in an abstract and contemporary way. Symphony is a blend of naturally available elements- the Assam bamboo, handloom jute and planters. Symphony is meant not only to serve an architectural purpose, it is also used as an artistic backdrop. The design of Symphony is inspired by the stringed musical instrument, Harp. Keeping sustainability in mind, the easily available yet durable bamboo was used as the main material instead of regular wood. The wall partition is a blend of geometric designs and patterns as it adds a lot of character to space. Planters have been placed at the base of the partition wall creating a space making it earthier. Adding fabric to the bamboo in an uneven manner serves the purpose of making the wall partition look more eye-catching. The waterfall is added to our product for natural music using a glass box which complements the idea of a harp. The fabric of our product is handloom which also adds on to the ethical and sustainable factor along with innovation.
