加拿大设计师Alykhan Velji以第一次的印度之行为灵感，为Mobilia设计了家具和家居用品，其中有绿色大理石凳子、黄铜框架和拱形图案。

Velji和他的母亲一起游历了他的祖国，然后从中获取了诸多家具设计的灵感。

Canadian designer Alykhan Velji used his first trip to India to inform this furniture and home collection for Mobilia, which includes green marble stools, brass frames and arch motifs.
Velji travelled to his ancestral home country with his mother, and came back with the inspiration for his Modern India range.



他告诉Dezeen的记者：“该系列发自我的内心，这是我与Mobilia的第一次合作，同时也是我第一次有机会和妈妈一起感受印度。”

"This collection is pretty close to my heart as it is my first collaboration but also because I had the chance to experience India for the first time with my mom," he told Dezeen.



这位加拿大卡尔加里的室内设计师经常以时尚专家的身份出现在电视上，这次与加拿大家具品牌Mobilia合作设计了这套家具，其中共15件作品。

The Calgary-based interior designer, who makes frequent television appearances as a style expert, partnered with Canadian furniture brand Mobilia to produce the 15-piece set.



Velji将他在印度看到的色彩、材料和图案作为这个系列的基础。还将在印度斋浦尔的仓库和工艺车间看到的内容融入到设计之中。

他说：“我努力去创造一套设计精良、用途广泛的作品，同时每件作品也可以单独应用。”

Velji put a contemporary spin on the colours, materials and patterns he found in India to form the basis of the series. Visits to Jaipur's architectural salvage warehouses and craft workshops also informed the designs.
"My effort was to create a collection that was well designed, versatile, worked together, but also so that each piece could stand alone in a room," he said.



Velji被印度绿色大理石深深吸引，他将其应用在黄铜框架的凳子和桌子的顶部，也将其用在圆形托盘的底部。

同时还有浅色的大理石、脉状的石头共同组成的圆形镜子和柜台。

Velji was particularly drawn to the country's green marble, which he used to create circular tops for brass-framed stools and tables, and the base of a round tray.
Pale marble options are also available, and the veiny stone also forms a segment of a round mirror and the counter for a console.



拱形和镶嵌的钻石型图案都来源于印度建筑。

椅子的靠背和坐垫以及圆柱形咖啡桌的框架都使用了金属网，这一元素参考了传统的编织篮子。

Motifs like arches and diamond inlays used on several pieces are taken from shapes found in Indian architecture.
Metal mesh forms cushion-covered chair backs and seats, and the framework for a cylindrical coffee table – referencing traditional woven baskets.



Mobilia家具成立于1966年，该品牌在魁北克和安大略省开有八家商店，这些商店将展出Velji的不同作品。

设计师Velji在10年前创办了他的工作室，专攻住宅及商业室内设计。现代印度系列家具标志着他第一次与品牌家具的设计合作。

Founded in 1966, Mobilia has eight stores across Quebec and Ontario – which will stock different selections of Velji's items.
The designer set up his studio over 10 years ago, specialising in residential and commercial interiors. The Modern India collection marks his first furniture design collaboration with a brand.
