the clocktower chair by Aparna from india

The Clock Tower Chair™ is a one- of- a kind, original piece. This unique chair towers at almost 7 feet height and combines the functionality of a sturdy cupboard with the delicacy of a hand carved miniature. The Clock Tower Chair™ is a comfortable, sturdy chair. It is also a glass- fronted cupboard with 3 solid wood, durable shelves for storage and display, making it a doubly practical, convenient piece of furniture. This piece is inspired by the designer’s love of all things miniature and antique. The exquisite Clock Tower miniature atop the chair is a salvaged antique, lovingly restored to its former glory and placed atop a typical ‘doli’ (cupboard used for food storage) from the same Victorian Era.
