Pieces of Desire: Sway

Pieces of Desire (POD) is an artisan based design studio exploring a seamless transition between art and functional objects. The brand makes a conscious attempt to promote locally-made products with a keen focus on details and craftsmanship. The creators believe that design is omnipresent and it touches each and every aspect of being, and becomes an inherent part of our lifestyle. Hence, all their designs not only pleases the eye, but also evokes an emotion — a response to the shapes, materials, textures and colours. The design team takes inspiration from literature, art, music and the micro-moments of everyday life. Observation, perception and its seamless transition to functional objects is a process they seek to create a fresh outlook to decipher and deconstruct design.

POD’s debut collection is Sway — a modern take on the humble swing, a nine piece series. Crafted from teak wood, brass and metal, this collection is filled with nostalgia.
