1980s Indian Props on Rent — Period Set Dressing

The 1980s opens up a new aesthetic — plastic laminates replace solid wood, push-button phones replace rotary, the VCR enters the home, audio cassettes proliferate. Saraab carries the visual signatures of the 1980s Indian middle-class home, the cassette shop, the office, and the railway platform.
