About the shop

One workshop, two showrooms, since 1992.

Photographs flatten furniture. Come and sit in it, open its doors, see it in ordinary light — and if the proportions are wrong for your room, say so. Most of what is standing here we built, so it can be built again to your measurements.

We build what we sell.So the size is yours to set.

A shop that only sells is limited to whatever the catalogue offers. We draw the piece with you, build it in our own workshop, and deliver it — the same people from the first measurement to the last hinge. A wardrobe that fits the alcove you actually have. A dining table two hundred millimetres shorter than stock. It also means the joinery is ours to answer for.

The history

Thirty-four years, two showrooms.

The date is printed on the shop’s own mark. It started as a workshop and grew into a manufacturing and retail team with two floors in Aluva — the same hands still deciding what gets built and what gets stocked. Thirty-four years of furniture through Kerala’s wet and dry seasons is a long education in what survives them: which joints stay tight, which timbers settle without splitting.

What we make

  • Custom-made furniture

    Drawn to your room first, then built to those numbers.

  • Wooden furniture manufacturing

    Our own workshop. Nothing here is a catalogue order placed on your behalf.

  • Wardrobes and storage

    Fitted to the wall you have, not to the wall a standard unit assumes.

  • Custom wooden works

    Panelling, shelving, and the pieces that belong to no category.

  • Living room

    Seating, low tables, and the long pieces that run under a window.

  • Bedroom

    Beds, side tables, dressers — sized around the door they have to come through.

  • Dining

    Tables and chairs, set to the room rather than to a seating count.

  • Retail

    Two showrooms in Aluva, open every day. Come without an appointment.

Eight things, one shop, and no stage of it subcontracted out.

How a piece happens

  1. Concept

    You tell us the room.

    The wall it stands against, the door it has to come through, what it has to hold and who uses it. Photographs help. Measurements help more.

  2. Customisation

    We draw it to those numbers.

    Height, depth, how many shelves, which way the doors swing. This is the stage a catalogue does not have, and where most of the decisions get made.

  3. Manufacturing

    It is built in our workshop.

    The climate settles as much of the joinery as the drawing does — how the boards are cut, and how much clearance a door needs if it is still to close in July.

  4. Delivery

    We bring it to the room.

    The shop that drew it and built it puts it where it goes — through the door it was measured for.

A bedroom in the afternoon, a wall of teak wardrobe doors along one side and a ceiling fan turning above the bed.

Furniture should outlast the reason you bought it.

A cot bought for a first child should still be standing in a spare room in twenty years. Thirty-four years in this trade is mostly an education in what fails first — and building it ourselves is how we keep that list short.
