Tokri Walla’ Bicycle Throne
Material
Steel, bicycle parts, brass, leatherite
DIMENSIONS
150x117.5x155.5 cm
Inspired by the woven tokri baskets carried by street vendors across India, the Tokriwala Throne first presented at Homo Faber in Venice in 2024 captures the iconic imagery of a bicycle vendor carrying gardening wares on his back commonly sighted on Indian streets. Hand woven in Nagaland, this installation of interwoven sculptural basketry transforms the everyday object into a playful throne, evoking motion, labour, and vernacular craft within Indian streetscapes.
