This elegant set includes the grounded Hearthaana Adi Koottu Chest and the graceful Chakra Peetham Stambha Table—each blending streamlined modernity with Kerala’s timeless forms. The chest radiates simplicity and stability, inspired by the supportive “paaya” of traditional cots, while the table’s double-disc form resonates with the spiritual chakra, symbolizing cosmic rhythm and unity. Together, they offer practical utility enriched by cultural symbolism, creating a duo that anchors contemporary homes in serenity and heritage.
Hearthaana Adi Koottu Chest
മലയാളം: അടിസ്ഥാന കൂട്ട് (Adisthaana Koottu)
The Hearthaana Adi Koottu Chest, or “Foundation Base Chest,” is a rectangular bedside cabinet with gently tapered legs and a seamless drawer. Inspired by ancestral wooden cot bases, its graceful body, vertical teak grain, and soft curves evoke a sense of rooted comfort and everyday elegance. The ample tabletop supports lamps or keepsakes; the discreet drawer ensures tidy storage. This chest transforms bedside organization into a soothing, ritual act, honoring the Kerala spirit of balance and grounded design.
Chakra Peetham Stambha Table
മലയാളം: ചക്ര പീഠം (Chakra Peedham)
The Chakra Peetham Stambha Table, or “Chakra Seat Pillar Table,” features a floating double-disc design supported by a hidden central pillar. Evocative of the sacred chakra—an emblem of balance and rhythm in Indian art, architecture, and spirituality—this side table supplies two surface levels for décor, books, or lamps. The table’s symmetry, warm finish, and gentle lines invite a sense of calm and mindful living, seamlessly blending tradition with contemporary minimalism.
Traditional & Cultural Interpretation
Though visually modern, the Shanti Vatika Set nods to the humble origins of Kerala household furniture: the rooted simplicity of the paaya (cot base), the utilitarian charm of drawer chests, and the contemplative balance of chakra forms. This set subtly embodies how Indian design infuses everyday spaces with meaning—anchoring the room in grace, comfort, and quiet tradition.
