Tarang
Tarang
Tarang means wave.
Tarang means wave.
In the 1930s Bombay built a row of apartment buildings along its new seafront at Marine Drive, in a style the city made its own: sunrays over the doorways, rounded balconies with steel grilles, portholes, terrazzo underfoot. At night the curve of streetlights along the bay earned a name, the Queen's Necklace. In 2018 UNESCO inscribed the Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensembles of Mumbai as World Heritage.
Tarang carries that city onto the floor. Each design starts from something you can still find on those streets: a cinema doorway, a balcony rail, a hallway floor, the line of lamps along the water. Fifteen pieces in three chapters: sunray, tide and terrazzo.

Sunray
The glamour of the doorway. Fans, rays, pleats and palms, in black, gold, oxblood and jade.
Tide
The sea seen from a Deco window. Waves, portholes and rain on fluted glass, in teal, ink and sea green.
Terrazzo
The floors and railings of the buildings themselves. Chips set in brass, stepped frames and a grille you could lean on.
