Limited Editions

Limited edition pieces

The B. M. Horse Chair is a result of seven and half years of persistent research and development. The unique and innovative process combines old and new materials and technologies and makes the product a limited edition in a true sense of the word. The B.M. Objects gave Pakhalé the idea of designing a sculptural chair with primal iconic horse form. The size of the piece made it impossible to cast in one piece in rural India so a sculptors studio was found in the city of Nagpur. Four self-financed attempts were made to cast the chair. All failed and the exercise was moved to Europe. Read more.
