Graphite sequence
Twelve strokes, one breath. Pressure eases by thirds; edges keep a feathered bloom that reads soft from three meters. This is where our Line Study began.

Curator’s Wall — quiet geometry, bold texture
We rotate a living wall weekly. Each piece is chosen for balance: line rhythm, material grain, and how it calms busy rooms from Bengaluru to Kolkata.
- Archival inks hold tone depth for decades under glass.
- Paper weight starts at 230gsm for a confident hang.
- Neutral palettes pair with oak, teak, and raw steel frames.
Make
From file to wall — our 3-step craft
Consistency matters. We keep the flow lean: color-managed print, precise trim, and framing that protects — not hides.
-
Print. ICC profiles tuned for warm Indian interiors. -
Trim. Edge fidelity keeps geometry crisp in frames. -
Frame. Low-iron glazing for true whites and blacks.
Preview
Light & Scale — see how a print lives in space
Drag the dial to simulate ambient light. Compare a room-view with a close texture and a frame corner.
Lower for evening mood, higher for midday clarity.
- Matte stocks cut glare in bright rooms.
- Shadow gap frames add depth without distraction.
- Recommended spacing: 8–12 cm above consoles and headboards.
Palette
Loft Palette — tones that love concrete & teak
Our posters carry quiet warmth. Pair sienna and kraft with teak consoles, or cool slate and steel with concrete walls. These palettes were tested in natural Indian light from Pune mornings to Chennai afternoons.
-
Sienna Kraft Paper with soft tooth; great with oak.
-
Raw Umber Muting accent for busy rooms.
-
Blue Slate Pairs with brushed steel, cool daylight.
-
Coal Anchor blacks; use in thin lines.
Tip: keep a 20–30% neutral wall visible around clusters; the breathing room makes lines feel intentional.
Notes
Artist Notes — studies, margins, and rhythm
Posters start as quiet tests. We chase rhythm first: the distance between strokes, the pause before a turn, the way a line softens as ink runs out. These fragments made the final cuts.
Ink wash balance
Two washes, one paper tilt. Pools settle into fiber; we lift at nine seconds to keep mid-tone air. Final poster keeps 70% of this original wash.
“A line isn’t a border — it’s a suggestion. Leave room for the wall to speak.”
Scale
Scale Guide — choose size with confidence
Rooms read differently at 40×50 vs 60×90. Toggle sizes to preview a wall cluster. We recommend hanging centers at eye level ~150–155 cm.
- Single statement above a console: center 2/3 width of furniture.
- Triptych spacing: 4–6 cm gaps read best at medium sizes.
- Gallery clusters breathe: keep outer margins wider than inner gaps.
Edition
Edition Marks — numbers, emboss & certificate
Select artworks ship as numbered editions. We sign in soft graphite, emboss the mark, and include a certificate tied to your order ID.
Emboss
Our blind deboss mark is pressed at low moisture to avoid paper bruise. The ring carries the Loft Lines glyph and workshop code.
Certificate
Each certificate mirrors the edition number on your print. The holographic seal maps to an internal ledger so replacements are traceable.
Guide
Room Recipes — practical setups for Indian light
These are field-tested compositions for real rooms — from compact Mumbai rentals to airy Hyderabad villas. Use them as starting points; bring your furniture’s color and wall texture into the conversation.
Living: Ochre + Graphite Triptych
Start with a grounded rug — ochre or rust — and a low console in teak. Above it, hang a triptych of narrow posters with shared rhythm: one vertical grid, one soft ink wash, one thread-like line drawing. Keep gaps tight (4–5 cm) so the set reads as a single statement. Use matte glazing to cut reflections from TV or balcony doors. If your wall is textured plaster, choose lighter strokes to avoid visual noise.
Lamp temperature around 2700–3000K keeps skin tones warm and ink blacks natural. Avoid cool 6500K bulbs — the paper can skew blue and the graphite turns steely. If the room faces west and gets strong glow at dusk, nudge frames 1–2 cm higher to keep top lines away from light flares.
Bedroom: Calm Pairs at Headboard
Bedrooms read best with pairs. Choose two prints that share a horizon line or echoing arcs; hang them 8–10 cm apart, 15 cm above the headboard. Linen bedding supports soft grayscale pieces; if you prefer color, keep saturation low — sienna and slate behave well under warm bedside lamps. For AC vents above, leave at least 6 cm clearance to reduce dust trails on the glass edge.
Small rooms benefit from narrow frames: 20×30s in tall proportions elongate the wall and keep the space airy. If you hear a hum from a nearby street, soft textiles like curtains and rug will deepen the quiet backdrop and your posters will appear more deliberate.
Workspace: One Anchor + One Note
Desks get cluttered. Instead of a collage, try one anchor poster (larger, with clear geometry) and a smaller note (gesture drawing or diagram). Place the anchor slightly left of center so your dominant hand has empty visual space. Keep cables tidy; visual noise near a grid poster creates strobing. If the wall is cool grey, add a warm wooden accessory — pencil cup, frame, or lamp base — to create a color handshake with the print.
Daylight from the side is kinder to matte paper than direct frontal light. If glare persists, tilt frames forward by 2–3° using felt pads at the top corners. Your eyes will thank you after long sessions.
Care
Shipping & Care — safe rolls, easy upkeep
We ship across India with shock-tested tubes and corner guards. Frames travel in padded cartons. Unpack on a clean surface — paper edges are unforgiving.
How prints travel
Posters ship flat for small sizes or rolled with interleaving tissue for larger formats. Tubes are crush-rated; we notch caps for pressure equalization during flights. Leave the roll to relax 30–60 minutes before framing — this prevents edge curl in the frame.
Frame cleaning
Use a clean microfiber cloth; mist the cloth, not the glass. Avoid ammonia cleaners — they can streak and dull anti-reflective coatings. For acrylic glazing, anti-static spray prevents dust cling and reduces hairline scuffs.
Humidity & walls
In coastal cities, run dehumidifiers during monsoon weeks. Keep frames off bathrooms and kitchens unless walls are tiled and well-ventilated. If a wall feels cold to touch, it may sweat at night — add spacers on the frame to create a breathing gap.
Timeline
Studio Timeline — what happens between idea and your wall
A week in our studio is a quiet loop of sketching, proofing, and making. Each step trims noise until only the essential lines remain.
-
Sketch & cadence
On thin stock we chase rhythm — pressure, pause, repeat. Ten versions, one keeper.
-
Digital clean-up
Dust lifted, edges softened where needed. We keep the hand intact; no plastic lines.
-
Proof & paper
Two papers tested under warm E27 bulbs and bright noon light — choose the calmer read.
-
Print & frame
ICC profiles locked; corners checked for chips. Frames wiped, glass dusted, packed.
Paper
Paper Science — weight, fiber, and the way light sits
Paper is a surface and a mood. Weight stops curl, fiber holds ink, and coating decides how your room light behaves on it.
Weight (gsm)
We start at 230gsm — heavy enough for flat hangs and calm edges. Larger formats get 260–300gsm to keep frames square and stop corner lift.
If your wall is slightly textured or you live near the coast, the extra weight helps the print stay true across seasons.
Fiber & coating
Cotton blends drink ink differently than alpha-cellulose. Our matte coatings keep blacks deep without glare; semi-matte adds a gentle snap to lines.
Test: hold the sheet at 45°. If light blooms softly, it’s good for living rooms; if it flashes, save it for dim corners.
Homes
Urban Homes Showcase — small spaces, strong calm
Real Indian apartments with posters that do more by saying less. Scroll the lane; each scene pairs one statement print with quiet furniture.
- Use felt pads behind top corners to tilt frames 2–3° and kill glare.
- Two-color rooms (wood + neutral) keep posters crisp; avoid busy palettes behind line work.
- Cable discipline near desks prevents visual strobing with grid pieces.

Do posters come framed?
Both options. Unframed posters ship in tubes; framed pieces ship in padded cartons with corner guards. Frames are teak-tone or black steel.
How do I choose paper?
Matte stocks reduce glare and suit bright rooms; semi-matte adds subtle snap to lines in dim corners. For humid cities, heavier 260–300gsm helps keep frames true.
Where do you ship in India?
Nationwide via trusted couriers. Metro deliveries are typically 2–4 business days; Tier-2 cities 4–7. Remote areas may require an extra day for line-haul.
Can I return a poster?
Yes within 7 days in original condition. If damaged in transit, contact us within 48 hours with photos so we can arrange a replacement quickly.
