Our Furniture Materials & Techniques
We’re obsessed with the details. From charred Japanese wood to hand-poured terrazzo, here’s a look at the unique textures and techniques that define our handcrafted pieces.

About this collection
Ever wonder why we’re so hooked on Shou-Sugi-Ban or hand-cast terrazzo? It’s not just about the aesthetic; it’s about how these materials behave and endure in real living spaces. Whether you want the sleek, airy feel of heat-bent acrylic or the raw, earthy texture of charred ash wood, we treat every material as a design challenge to make your furniture last while looking stunning.
At our Kirti Nagar workshop, we don't believe in standard off-the-rack solutions. We geek out over the process.
Shou-Sugi-Ban (Yakisugi)
This Japanese technique of charring wood isn't just for drama. By burning the surface of our solid Ash and Teak frames, we create a layer of carbon that acts as a natural shield against decay and pests. It highlights the open grain of the wood, giving each chair or console a distinct, tactile depth you just can't get with standard varnish.
Custom Terrazzo & Concrete
Our love for concrete and terrazzo is messy but worth it. We hand-cast these pieces, selecting custom aggregate chips like glass and marble to create those unique olive or blue-flecked patterns. Each tabletop is sealed with water-resistant finish, meaning you get a functional, high-impact surface that stands up to coffee spills and daily wear.
Heat-Bent Acrylic
For those who want to reclaim visual space, our acrylic pieces are a favorite. By heat-bending 12mm-18mm sheets, we create seamless, waterfall-edge consoles that feel almost invisible. They are tough, easy to clean, and perfect for adding a modern, minimalist touch without cluttering your room.
Bouclé & Leatherette Finishes
Texture is everything. We select heavy-duty, premium bouclé and vintage-style leatherette because they bring warmth and structure to our designs. When we pipe the seams or tuft the cushions, we’re focusing on ensuring the piece maintains its sculptural shape for years. If you have a specific material or color palette in mind for your home, let’s talk about how we can build it.
