In many Indian homes, the kitchen is where knowledge passes down most quietly. It happens as much through instruction as it does through observation, repetition, and years of watching the habits of hands accustomed to daily rhythms.

Flawless emerged from reflecting on these everyday rituals and the ways they evolve across generations. The rolling board and pin do not prescribe a correct technique, neither through use nor through form.

Crafted from Red Agra sandstone which offers natural grip and shaped from reclaimed stone fragments, no two pieces are entirely alike. Their subtle irregularities are retained; an acknowledgment that use, adaptation, and imperfection are what give rituals meaning over time.

Part of the Rituals collection by SĀR Studio.

The SĀR Residence was never conceived as a showroom.
Designed by , it was imagined as a place for living, learning, gathering, and exchange.

Over the years, the Residence has hosted designers, architects, artists, thinkers and collaborators who have shaped the journey of SĀR over the years.

For those who wish to spend time with the collections, understand our ethos more deeply, or experience the world from which SĀR emerges—we invite you to become part of the (growing) SĀR family.

Some doors open through curiosity.

After months of research, prototyping, and collaboration, we present HOOF in its entirety.

Designed by for , the collection takes inspiration from India's equestrian leather craft heritage: the curve of a horse’s hoof, the silhouette of the saddle, the tension of detailed stitches and the elegant precision of posture became foundational motifs for this series that brings motion into stillness.

HOOF encompasses three chair typologies, a dining table and a work desk—crafted in rubber wood (economy) and ash wood (premium)—and BIFMA-certified for use across institutional spaces as well.

HOOF is now available for purchase through our flagship store: SĀR Residence, Pune.

This is SĀR's new collection HOOF taking shape behind-the-scenes, no staging, no polish.

HOOF was developed through continuous prototyping between leatherworkers, fabricators, craftsmen, and the studio — testing tension, proportions, joinery, comfort, and the behaviour of materials through use.

These moments matter to us as much as the final object, because the process of making carries its own honesty.

Long before leather became associated with luxury, it was a material of movement.

Across centuries of trade, cavalry, migration, and sport, leather travelled through the Indian subcontinent as utility — shaped into saddles, bridles, reins, harnesses — objects that demanded durability, flexibility, and immense precision by hand. In cities like Kanpur, this knowledge slowly evolved into one of the world’s largest saddlery industries, supplying equestrian goods across Europe and beyond.

“We are familiar with leather as ornament or luxury, but the material culture of leather under tension — leather stretched, stitched, reinforced and softened by use, a material constantly renegotiating strength and flexibility — is relatively under-explored,” says designer .

This became the source material behind HOOF, with an ode to its equestrian roots presented through formal nods.

For generations, in the narrow lanes of Kanpur, leather has moved through the hands of craftsmen who understand the material instinctively. These hands have shaped objects (saddles, briddles, harnesses) through precision, endurance and repetition. These are objects designed for more than just beauty. They are designed for tension and movement, to mold to the rider and the horse over time.

What fascinated was the craftsmanship of course, but also the entire ecosystem around it: the coexistence of hand skill and industrial scale in a lesser-known town in India.

Today, much of the world’s equestrian leather goods quietly pass through Kanpur. Yet the craft often remains invisible outside the industry that depends on it. HOOF began as an attempt to translate this legacy into another context — not as nostalgia, but as continuity.

At its core, HOOF asks a (deceptively) simple question:
How can craft and industry coexist within an object today?

Leather shaped by hand.
Wood shaped by time.
The geometry of a legacy.

This is a study in restraint, balance, and material memory.
Stay tuned for a new collection by SĀR.

The final evening of the SĀR Annual Gathering 2026 brought everyone back home to the Residence. Here, in the courtyards, outdoor furniture collection Bloom—developed in collaboration with —explored circular design through modularity and reuse, asking a simple question: in a world obsessed with speed and creation, what does it mean to create better with less?

The evening expanded beyond objects, into lingering conversations around how we build, preserve, and pass knowledge.

Mazumdar Bravo Architects introduced SĀR Village—an evolving blueprint for a community centered around work, experimentation, and exchange.

New collaborations with German studio and Portugal-based point towards SĀR’s next chapter—one shaped by dialogue across regions, disciplines, and perspectives.

of Mumbai’s fame approached the table with the same balance of instinct and discipline that shaped the gathering itself.

Three days.
Numerous voices.
This was not a conclusion, but a continuation.

Day 2 of the SĀR Annual Gathering, 2026 unfolded across the grassy landscapes of Pune, in collaboration with —a design-led boutique hotel set in a wine estate.

Set against the backdrop of a compelling outdoor photography campaign by , conversations moved between craft, economy and luxury. It culminated with the launch of HOOF, designed in collaboration with —a premium furniture line drawing from India’s longstanding saddlery traditions in Kanpur.

More than an exhibition, this marked a shared investigation into what the future of making can sustain; and what happens when the momentum of industry meets the speed of hand.
