"Her latest work, Reflect, is part of her collection Exhibit (A): Furniture for the Anxious Being. This collection investigates how furniture can become a tool for emotional support, engaging the senses and fostering a sense of calm. Reflect is more than just a chair. Crafted from warm cherry wood with an oil finish, it features a hand-stitched leather sling seat and a leather seat cushion."
"Reflect challenges the traditional idea that furniture is simply something to sit on. Instead, it becomes a space for the user to feel present, supported, and more emotionally connected. The act of rolling the steel ball is soothing, almost like a tactile mantra, offering a moment of mindfulness amid daily stress. This sensory experience is designed to ground the sitter, making the chair a therapeutic companion rather than just an object."
Tanuvi Hegde merges architecture, interiors, and fabrication to create furniture that supports emotional well-being through sensory engagement and mindful interaction. Reflect, part of Exhibit (A): Furniture for the Anxious Being, functions as an interactive chair that grounds the sitter via tactile elements. The chair uses warm cherry wood, an oil finish, a hand-stitched leather sling seat, and a leather cushion for comfort and material warmth. A small steel ball bearing embedded in the armrest invites repetitive rolling, producing subtle vibration and gentle sound that facilitate meditative focus. The design balances meticulous craftsmanship with approachable form.
