AKAR in Sanskrit means forms and shapes. That in many ways explains what we do at our Gallery and Architecture Office - we deal with functions in sculptural forms. The relationship between the architecture office and gallery started since the day we started our architecture practice. We knew that the clients we wished to attract were the ones who dreamed of their dwelling to be more than just a shelter, someone who understands aesthetics and enjoys the tension yet harmony between form and function. So the idea emerged to open a gallery and design store with our architecture practice as a friendly bridge. Initially our store showed objects designed by other architects as a way to educate people about architects and their passion to extend beyond designing buildings. We were suckers for ceramics long before we dreamed about having a gallery. As a vessel form, pottery is the closest relative to architecture in art. So ceramics became a big part of our gallery. As a concept we wanted the gallery to have both art forms (handmade) and designed forms (machine made), a collection which represents passion for "good design sense", without discriminating the materials, building process or scale. Whether a handbag, a pot, a watch, food or shoes, it did not matter. Login or Sign-Up to review this business
