The chair draws inspiration from Picasso’s Cubism (circa 1907), asking the question: “If Picasso was a furniture designer, what would he make during his Cubist era?” The design translates Cubism’s fracturing of form into geometric planes and multiple perspectives into a physical object, combined with the warm, earthy colour palette of both early Cubist works and mid-century interiors.

The chair pairs Baxter’s signature full-grain leather upholstery (1.6mm, aniline-dyed) in tones like Polish Carmine, Toffee, Nabuck Charcoal, and Sage, with a mirror-polished 304 stainless steel tube frame (Ø16mm, PVD coated) — grounding it firmly in Baxter’s luxury Italian craft tradition.

Stoa is an outdoor furniture collection developed as a design proposal for Promemoria, drawing conceptual inspiration from the architectural legacy of classical Greece and Rome. The collection translates the structural language of columns, arches, and vaults into a cohesive suite of outdoor pieces, referencing the Grand Tour tradition through which designers such as Palladio and Wren synthesised classical architecture into new design vocabularies.

The collection comprises a dining set — The Flitcroft table and The Wren chair — and a lounging set — The Piranesi coffee table and The Medici bench. Each piece is named after an architect or historical figure connected to the classical tradition, embedding narrative depth into the collection identity.

Niva is a luxury ottoman designed as a proposal for Norki, a brand specialising in handcrafted natural fur and hide pieces. The concept originates from a close observation of feline form — specifically the rounded geometry of interlocking paws — distilled into a quietly sculptural piece for hallways and bedrooms. Named after the serene openness of a meadow, the design carries a sense of stillness and warmth.

Form was developed through iterative sketching and physical prototyping, with subtle ear-inspired accents lending the silhouette an animate, organic quality. The material palette — ivory Icelandic sheepskin, steam-bent oak veneer, and layered foam — was chosen to extend the concept into texture and touch, translating the softness of the source inspiration into the physical experience of the object.

Scoop is a bar stool conceived for the Nama Home Talent Lab competition, where it was selected as a Top 3 finalist. The concept draws from a personal observation made during the move from India to Italy — the gelato scoop, ubiquitous in every neighbourhood shop, became a source of fascination as a humble tool that turns a simple action into a moment of delight.

The form echoes the open, fluid geometry of the scoop, with a swivelling cupped seat that mimics its inviting motion and naturally orients users toward one another. Materials were selected with sustainability in mind: Desserto® cactus leather for the seat and sand-cast recyclable aluminium for the base — a process that minimises waste while producing a sculptural, textured finish.
