Based in Calcutta, Sabyasachi is a self-described global nomad whose
approach to design is influenced both by his travels and his Indian
roots. Best known for transforming old world fabrics into modern
silhouettes using practices like hand dyeing, embroidery and block
printing, Sabyasachi brings that same approach to his collection for
Pottery Barn, resulting in a sophisticated yet approachable collection
that offers an easy way to add an eclectic, worldly touch to any home.
“I hope this collection inspires people to travel,” said designer
Sabyasachi Mukherjee. “My goal with this collaboration was to bring
exotic whimsy and color into American homes.”
Signature pieces and Sabyasachi favorites include the Octavia Accent
Table, Mila Chandelier, Maharani Print Bedding and Quilts,
Jewelry Boxes and Animal Salad Plates, among others. When
designing prints for the home, Sabyasachi tapped artists from his art
foundation to help design the artwork and patterns in the collection.
The Sabyasachi Art Foundation was established to give indigenous
craftspeople due recognition and a means of livelihood.
“Sabyasachi is a remarkable talent. He has an incredibly unique vision
for color, prints and textures. The way he layers fabrications is
unbelievable! Sabyasachi’s Mumbai store was our first exposure to him
where we all fell in love,” said Monica Bhargava, EVP of Product
Development, Pottery Barn. “The Indian heritage of pattern and color has
been a global influence for centuries. This collaboration with
Sabyasachi has led to a very inspirational collection for the holidays.”
