I turn tired, old furniture into statement pieces and build custom resin tables from scratch. Whether it’s a geode-inspired dining top or a river table with embedded memories, let's make your home uniquely yours.

Watch as I transform an old dining table into a show-stopping, light-up geode masterpiece. I extended the sides, crafted a translucent geode design, and added burnt gold accents for a vintage touch.

If you're a resin artist, you know that not all resins are the same. For this massive 10-foot live edge bar countertop, I used a low viscosity resin to ensure a smooth, bubble-free pour that could handle the depth.

Here's a furniture transformation featuring a soft, dreamy marble finish with elegant gold inlay. I added textured details and shimmering gold leafing to create a show-stopping table.

This handcrafted centerpiece is perfect for Diwali celebrations. It features a natural wood slab with embedded Jack Daniel's minis, encased in a river of teal resin for a blend of tradition and contemporary style.

Don't chase, attract. This was day one of my 30-day reel challenge, featuring a whimsical indoor and outdoor floral bench I created by embedding flowers in resin.

A work in progress, giving new life to a simple IKEA table. Here, I'm using alcohol inks to create a fluid, colorful design before sealing it with a top coat of resin.

Is it worth doing all the prep work to flip an IKEA table? Absolutely. I love how the final piece turned out, especially the subtle hues of blue mixed with the alcohol ink design.

Another revamp of simple IKEA tables. I used resin and gold leaf to give them a festive, sparkling finish that is perfect for adding a touch of glamour to any space.

A set of three nesting tables I revamped with a unique, textured gold and white resin finish. This is one of my favorite upcycling projects from over the years.

I transformed this bar unit with a shimmering gold leaf finish and delicately drawn birds and leaves for a vintage ambiance. It's a unique style that adds a captivating charm to the space.

About Custom Tables & Furniture Upcycling

When I build a table, the magic isn't just in the pour, it's in the prep work. For every heavy-duty bar counter or dining table I create, I apply a specialized TPU protective film. It keeps the surface scratch-resistant and heat-proof up to 200°C, so you can actually live with your art instead of just worrying about it.

Building a custom table or upcycling an old piece is a journey, not a quick fix. My studio in Andheri West is where we strip back the old—whether it's an IKEA table that needs a new identity or a seasoned live-edge wood slab waiting for a resin river—and start fresh.

The Process

Every project starts with a conversation and a sketch. I need to understand how the piece will fit into your daily life.

  • Deep Pours & Clarity: For large projects like 10-foot bar counters, I use specific low-viscosity resins like Resin Cult's Diamond Coat. It’s essential for a bubble-free, crystal-clear finish that doesn't overheat or crack over time.
  • Material Selection: I source high-quality live-edge acacia, teak, or walnut slabs. The wood is the heart of the table, and the resin is the lifeblood that flows through it.
  • The Finish: From geode-style edges with gold leafing to fluid alcohol ink designs, the final look is entirely up to you. I sand up to 3000 grit and polish for that glass-like feel.

Why Upcycling Matters

I love breathing new life into old furniture. Instead of discarding an outdated dining set, we can extend the surface, add a geode design, or transform it into a functional art piece. It’s better for the planet, and you end up with a conversation starter that no one else has.

If you have a wild idea—like embedding miniature liquor bottles into a bar counter or preserving childhood toys in a bookshelf—bring it to me. I handle the messy bits, the fabrication, and the engineering so you can just enjoy the final result.
