Niskala: Forms of the Unseen
Niskala : Forms of the Unseen
An homage to Bali’s vibrant spirituality and mystique, the “Niskala: Forms of the Unseen” collection was created by French designer Pierre Charrié as output of the 2023 Artist Designer In Residence (ADIR) program initiated by CushCush Gallery in Bali. Niskala takes us on a journey to a mysterious world where mythical creatures seem to incarnate into beautifully handcrafted objects and furniture of collectible design. Conceived as a triptyque in which each object highlights a different Balinese know-how and local material, the collection unfolds like a story in three chapters, introducing different characters. In a vibrant play of contrasts, the collection showcases the versatility of Balinese craftsmanship through the prism of contemporary design.
