Chris conceived of Amalgamation, as a collection of unique furniture that pays reverence to traditional crafts of Ghana and India by merging them with a contemporary, midcentury modern aesthetic. Each and every piece has a story, whether that be of the artisan Martin worked with, the choices and use of materials, the various shapes and their origins, or the history and processes of the various traditional crafts.

This collection of limited production furniture is principally the result of collaborations with traditional artisans, with some work simply being the result of Martin’s experiences in each country and his admiration of the rich history of traditional craft in Ghana and India.
