Why I Design Furniture That Talks Back

I'm not here to just fill up a room. At MuseLAB, we design pieces that carry meaning, spark conversations, and sometimes make you smile. I see furniture as more than function - it should have personality, quirks, even a story.

How It Works: Your Story Comes First

I start by listening - maybe you love a particular poem, or your nani’s (grandma’s) old holiday stories. That’s where the design begins. Function and form grow out of your own narrative, so every piece feels personal, not generic.

What I Make

From bespoke wooden swings (oonjals) with intricate work, to sculptural lounge chairs that double up as art, my designs are all about making a statement. Dining tables with curvy wood bases, or custom stone inlay tables that play with colour and texture, end up being the centerpieces. Storage? Not boring - I give cabinets and bar units hidden details, sometimes inspired by old Chettinad doors.

Lighting is another playground - floor lamps and pieces that are part sculpture, part function. I get a kick out of collaborating with artisanal furniture makers India, from Channapatna toy craftsmen to wood sculptors.

Materials That Matter

You’ll see a lot of teak, oak, ash, marble, terrazzo. I’m obsessed with what each material can do, and I always work with artisans who know their stuff.

Why Collaborate?

The best ideas happen when people share - so I work with a tribe of artists and makers. That’s how one-of-a-kind pieces are born.

In the end, I want furniture that feels like it belongs to you, not just to a house.
