Bengal’s craft and history, from public collections. We credit each one here.

Pictures of our dinnerware and cutlery, of the chests they arrive in and of the evenings around them are concept visualisations made for BHOJ. They are captioned wherever they appear, and will be replaced by photographs of the first pieces.

A gold-toned ĀBHĀ knife, fork and black-handled spoon resting in their black sleeves on the suede-lined tray of the chest — ĀBHĀ cutlery, as we imagine it. Concept visualisation.
