Furniture is more than just function—it’s an expression of identity, history, and artistry. When designing or selecting pieces for your home, drawing inspiration from cultural heritage adds depth and meaning to your space. Cultural influences transform everyday furniture into timeless pieces that have a story.
One of the most striking representations of this in furniture design is from our latest collection Caravanserai and our best selling piece, the Islamic Arches—an architectural feature that transcends time and geography.
Islamic arches, with their flowing curves and intricate details have influenced global design, seamlessly integrating into furniture, interiors, and décor. Our pieces in Caravanserai pay homage to this rich tradition by blending cultural significance with Indian craftsmanship to bring you something truly unique.
Each arch in Caravanserai is shaped by artisans using a variety of artistic methods: (show image of each one with each bullet point)
- Glass Mosaic: Intricate patterns that dance with light and color, adding vibrancy and movement.
- Hand Painting: A testament to artistic precision, where every brushstroke enhances the uniqueness of a piece.
- Semi-Precious Stone Inlay: Luxurious detailing with fine stones embedded into the design, evoking royal grandeur.
- Straw Marquetry: Organic textures created from dyed and inlaid straw, offering a refined yet earthy appeal.
- Decoupage: Layered imagery forming collage-like effects, giving each piece depth and narrative.
- Enamel Work: Glossy, richly pigmented finishes inspired by the brilliance of copper and intricate patterns.
- Embroidery on Wood: A marriage of soft textures and solid forms, creating a tactile and visual contrast that enhances depth and detail.
Our approach to design is rooted in celebrating craftsmanship as a living art form. Each arch-inspired piece is an invitation to explore history while embracing modernity.
Just as Islamic arches have stood the test of time, furniture should be built to transcend trends—designed for those who appreciate artistry and culture.
