Mindful Mistakes
Home Review|October 2016

One-of-a-kind spaces created by The Busride for the ‘Folly House’ are on the identity cusp between gallery and home. Clean geometric patterns and highly multi-faceted furniture pieces dominate this residence’s design scheme which is totally uncaring of convention.

Mindful Mistakes

In so many ways, the Folly House is a metaphor for the kind of reality we all have come to inhabit. We seem to thrive in a melting pot of contradictions - of spaces, ideas and what-have-you, held together by an old, comforting need for the stable and the staid. Too much of either is disorienting.

So at home, at the office, we have come to expect a free flow, an easily-changeable scenery that is composed of all the necessary functional parts.

It builds the perfect environment for growing children who still look at the world with unsullied eyes, as well as for adults too weary of being forced into boxes of perception.

This 4,500 sq. ft. home’s high philosophy translates to brilliantly-designed multi- functional furniture pieces that are entities within themselves, when alone. When considered in the company of other pieces, they recreate a more recognisable relationship found in every regular home.

The living room is composed of two large components, and that’s it! “We used to jokingly say to the clients that this is what you get when you hire designers from Bombay to design a house in Pune. Everything will be unnecessarily compacted and we won’t know what to do with the extra space,” the team recalls. The obvious visual inspiration came from a gallery space where the floor swathe is generous and uncluttered, and the attention is solely to be directed towards the displayed artefacts.
