Indian design studio Atelier Arunika, founded by Arunika Sarkar, has launched its debut collection, The Ramino Series, a limited-edition set of five sculptural furniture pieces inspired by the card game Rummy. The collection reimagines furniture as narrative objects, drawing on the game's social rituals, personalities, and unpredictability. Pieces include Canasta (bar cabinet), Jolly (console), Fiore (clustered spherical forms), Cuiro (storage console with heart-shaped hardware), and Picche (chest of drawers). The design language blends postmodern geometry with cinematic symmetry reminiscent of filmmaker Wes Anderson. The collection positions Atelier Arunika within India's growing collectible design scene, emphasizing narrative, craftsmanship, and function.
