Bidri x MCM
‘Bidri X MCM’ has been inspired by the aesthetics of Mid-Century Modern and skillfully handcrafted using the unique craft of Bidri (a fine art of inlaying silver wire on an oxidized/blackened zinc and copper alloy).
This Limited Edition collection comprises designs which, though contemporary, exude an agelessness. The striking contrast of colors- the glossy silver inlay being set off dramatically against the matt black- makes for visually stunning pieces. The result is an overall aesthetic that is delicate yet formidable, understated yet opulent.
Mid-Century Modern (MCM), more than half a century after its origin, suddenly feels very relevant again. Its minimalist sensibility, a preference for clean lines and pared-down designs seem to be exactly what we need as we look to simplify our fast-paced, multitasked, over-informed, frantic, internet-fueled lives.
