the inspiration for doshi levien's 'my beautiful backside'



we first featured the new ‘my beautiful backside’ collection by doshi levien when moroso
unveiled it at the salone del mobile in april. they recently also featured the illustration which
inspired the eclectic collection. taken from the book 'the garden of life' by naveen patnaik,
this illustration provided style cues and ideas to the duo which eventually led to the new
series of seating.
