The Jaipur design is inspired by the sandstone screens of Hawa Mahal, the “Palace of the Winds” in Jaipur, India. After traveling overland from Varanasi during monsoon season in the early 90s, a friend and I found refuge in the pink city. The screens on the palace were constructed so royal women could peer out without being seen. The exterior designs of the palace vary, however, I detracted rings from the image, and love the retro feel that the final product has.
