    Palakkad Chair

    The Palakkad Chair is designed by Goa based artist and furniture designer Nityan Unnikrishnan for Phantom Hands. An early version of the chair was designed and fabricated by Nityan in 2013. This version became a starting point for the collaboration between Nityan and Phantom Hands in 2022 and evolved into its present form over the course of several iterations. 

    Inspired by Japanese-American furniture maker George Nakashima’s work, the spindle emerged as the central character of the teakwood chair; with slim forms in the backrest and thicker versions for the legs of the chair. The spindle shape also lends itself to the four crossbars underneath.

    The cane pattern for the chair features a unique wrap around weave that was developed specifically for the Palakkad Chair, making the seat ergonomically comfortable. This solid teak wood chair is lightweight, robust and can be used as a dining chair, desk chair or as a stand-alone living room chair

    Why we love Phantom Hands

    Phantom Hands represents a thoughtful continuation of modern design history. The studio works closely with the legacy of mid century modernism in India, producing pieces that honor original designs while sustaining the craft traditions that made them possible. There is an honesty to the materials and construction that aligns deeply with our values. Each piece carries a sense of cultural memory while remaining relevant to contemporary living. Phantom Hands reminds us that good design is not only about form but also about lineage, care, and stewardship.
