Bazaar - The Hanging Lamp by Material Immaterial
“Inside the narrow alleys of this cenotaph, thrives a vibrant bazaar where merchants richly display their wares – turbans of crimson and silver with tunics of purple brocade. Mirrors with panels of amber and daggers with handles of jade. Traversing through the winding streets and interweaved staircases, one embarks on a journey not through the bazaar but through the cities from the memories of its free-spirited merchants. Cities where high standing arcades boast of their glory and power. The tenacious walls give way to glimpses of platformed houses, port holed windows and arched doors. Infact you don’t come to the Bazaar to buy and sell wares but to trade in memories; memories of your travels and those of the zealous travelling traders.” - Marco Polo talking about a medieval market.
The Bazaar is more than a place in space; it is a drama in time. Drama of shadows that unfolds on its varied walls, doors, arcades, staircases and balconies. We invite you to come peek into the grandiose of this sky high metropolis built as the reminiscence of the hometowns of its various merchants.

MIM studio uses a high density, high performance custom concrete mix which is resistant to weathering. As concrete is a composite material, each piece will be slightly different in terms of colour and texture and pores. Also over time concrete products will undergo slight efflorescence. This natural occurrence can be mitigated by frequent use. Furthermore in time concrete items do become darker as they interact with moisture and air.Reclaimed Teak wood has been used for all our products, so certain features of its earlier use will be visible. The wood has been finished with linseed oil. The metal used in cufflinks is Sterling silver (925 Grade).
Avoid storing the products in humid or wet environments since water will penetrate the pores of the concrete and stain. Although they use dense mix concrete, chipping is possible if dropped or when the product makes contact with certain hard surfaces. To avoid chipping please handle the product with care and place them on soft surfaces. Our Concrete items do not require any special maintenance. Dry dusting if required with clean fibre cloth or a soft brush. For Cufflinks we have used Silver which oxidises over time, so necessary care to be taken.
All the products usually ship within 7 days of placing the order.

Material immaterial studio is built on the basic principles of bare beauty of materials. They are essentially minimalist, their designs do not offer any utopian prescriptions, rather the approach has always been of what to leave out, rather than what to put in. This reduction process is what takes them through a mirror, emerging out on the other side to discover richness, like in the subtle differences between five shades of white and the sense of release that comes from allowing space to be unencumbered by visual distractions.
