See how raw sketches become sculptural pieces. Step into my Delhi workshop where welding, woodwork, and upholstery transform materials into stories.

In my workshop, surrounded by my loyal companions. This is my sanctuary, where I am not just a designer, but a hands-on creator. The templates on the wall are the ghosts of past projects, each one a story of a design brought to life.

This is how the iconic Tango Bar comes to life. The process begins with a mild steel skeleton to create the wave-like form, which is then meticulously clad in brass. It’s a labor of love, from the workshop floor to its final place as the centerpiece of a room.

Surrounded by my creations. This is a moment of reflection in the workshop, with a collection of chairs I have designed and built. Each one represents a different exploration of form and material, from classic reinterpretations to modern sculptural pieces.

The making of a dining table is a dance of materials. This video shows the process of creating a solid wood table with a sculptural brass base. You can see the raw materials being shaped and joined, a testament to the hands-on craftsmanship that defines my work.

The process of creation is often about getting back to basics. Here, I am working on shaping wood for a new piece. The smell of sawdust and the feel of the material in my hands is where the real design happens.

A black and white moment captured in Bali, where I was working with local artisans. My design process is a constant exploration of materials and techniques, and I draw inspiration from craftsmanship around the world.

This video offers a glimpse into the creation of two of my award-winning pieces. You can see me explaining the process behind the Poet's Desk, with its solid teak and brass-clad drawers, and the Cosmic Bench, where we cast fabric in metal to create a fluid, draped effect.

A walk-through of my stall at the EDIDA awards, where I was honored as Designer of the Year. I explain the inspiration and techniques behind pieces like the Fringe Console and the Plateau Coffee Table, which uses recycled cardboard to create its unique cast brass top.

A detailed look at some of my newest furniture designs. In this video, I explain the material choices and construction of the armless curved couch, the Lotus Quartz dining table, and the solid ash wood desk with its striking Banswara marble base.

The Mapa Burl Bar Cabinet is a piece I am particularly proud of. Here, I walk you through its features: the beautiful burl finish, the cast brass handles and legs, and the fully functional interior with an Armani bronze stone counter and custom drawers.

About The Maker's Workshop: Behind the Design

Every piece in this collection starts not with a digital render, but with a piece of charcoal and a notebook. When we build, we are not just following a blueprint; we are testing the material—whether it is solid teak, cast brass, or reclaimed cardboard—to see what it wants to become. You are not just buying furniture; you are engaging with the specific choices of joinery, finish, and form that happen on my shop floor every day.
