Cultural & Historical Context
Bullock carts were integral to rural Indian life in the 19th and early 20th centuries—used for transporting grain, goods, and families across villages and fields. These carts were often made from locally sourced hardwood and decorated to reflect the owner's status or beliefs. By upcycling these elements into functional chairs, this pair not only preserves historical craftsmanship but gives it a new life in conscious design—making each chair a celebration of resilience, symbolism, and rural ingenuity.
Styling Tip
Position these chairs in an entryway, reading nook, or conservatory alongside jute rugs, vintage planters, or heritage wall art. Their sculptural forms and raw texture add depth and authenticity to both minimalist and maximalist settings. Ideal for boutique hotels, curated interiors, or statement garden rooms.
