Æquo makes its London debut at PAD this year, presenting a collection that celebrates dynamic collaborations with international designers and Indian artisans.

At the forefront is our partnership with American designer Kelly Wearstler, bridging Los Angeles and Mumbai. Her design philosophy goes beyond aesthetics—delving into the interplay of space, light, and materiality. Ceramist Kristin Yezza introduces her whimsical treasure box, inspired by her love for timeless objects. She imagines these pieces being passed down through generations, delighting future collectors just as today’s antiques do her.

Dutch designer Linde Freya Tangelder (founder of Destroyers/Builders) draws from central Indian architecture to develop a new repoussé technique—using thin German silver hammered around hand-carved teak. Realised in collaboration with Jeevaram Suthar’s workshop in Alibag, this fusion of tradition and innovation brings her vision to life.

Portuguese duo Garcé & Dimofskí explore fluidity through cast glass and organic forms that seem to melt into one another. Their chandelier, made from recycled glass and brass, captures motion suspended in time.

Florence Louisy, Æquo’s creative director, curates these collaborations while also designing collections herself. Her creative process spans a spectrum of crafts—from metal casting in Mumbai to embroidery in Chennai—infused with symbolic materials like copper. For his project with Æquo, French designer Frédéric Imbert immersed himself in Dhokra, a centuries-old lost-wax casting technique from Chhattisgarh. Known for his sculptural, material-driven work, Imbert brings a raw, poetic dimension to this collaboration.
