For the Fire Goddess — the one whose floor is the best seat in the house, and everyone knows it.

Old wedding saris do not simply disappear when the wedding is over. In Rajasthan they are kept, and eventually they are cut apart and stitched back together at random by hand — a collage of silks and cottons that never had any business sitting next to each other and look wonderful doing it. Mirrors are set into the seams. Raised colored thread work runs across the panels in intricate designs. Tassels finish the corners. Every one is assembled from whatever a particular set of hands had in front of them that week, so no two exist twice.

Put it in the corner where people already gravitate — by the window, under the bookshelf, at the low end of the coffee table. It is a meditation seat, an extra chair when four people turn into seven, and a piece of textile art the rest of the time. The back is lined in a matching color with a zipper closure, so you fill it with whatever you like: a standard insert, cotton fill, or the old clothes you have been meaning to do something with.
