This product is part of book from Sār: The Essence of Indian Design published by @phaidonpress

This book takes you on a journey of Indian design told through 200 functional objects. From the ubiquitous mug and baalti found in every Indian home, to the steel dishrack a common feature that democratises kitchens across the country, this book includes a wide range of everyday objects that are often used, but rarely celebrate for their ingenious design.

Prarthna Singh is a photographer and a visual artist whose work explores questions of identity and gender, especially as they intersect with the fraught politics of nationalism in contemporary India. Her images reflect on the economic and political trajectory of the country, drawing connections between feminine precariousness and vulnerability, on one hand, and radical acts of strength and solidarity on the other. She lives and works in Bombay and has recently self-published her book Har Shaam Shaheen Bagh: One Hundred Days of Resistance which was named one of the best photobooks of 2022 by LensCulture. Her work has appeared in TIME, The New York Times, FT Weekend, The Economist, The Guardian, Monocle, The Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg News.
