NINE.5 | Ekaya x Suchi Reddy

Objects —

Nine.5 is a limited edition of collectible furniture resulting from the collaboration between Suchi Reddy and Ekaya Banaras, the 100-year-old New Delhi-based textile atelier.

The collection emerged from a five-year dialogue between Suchi Reddy, Palak Shah, and Melanie Courbet. The sculptural seats upholstered with Ekaya’s hand-woven Banarsi textiles, is a tribute to India’s rich cultural heritage and ongoing craftsmanship legacy.

Titled Nine.5, the collection makes reference to the 9.5 yards in a saree. The flowing shapes mimic the curves of a saree on the body. Reddy designed custom silk fabrics based on the zero, which was first introduced as a numeral into mathematics by Hindu astronomer and mathematician Brahmagupta in 628.

The Nine.5 collection ranges in scale from furniture pieces like a chaise and settee to a light fixture and a small sculptural object (.5), which acts as a balancing weight and sculpture in its own right.

Nine.5 is a celebration of India’s cultural contributions, reimagining the saree—a garment steeped in tradition—through the lens of contemporary design.

“Each piece in this collection is a tribute to the artistry of Indian craftsmen, weaving together centuries of heritage with modern aesthetics to create objects that resonate with both cultural significance and functional beauty.”
