Our Community

At Artisan Furniture, we believe that every piece of furniture tells a story.

Amritsar – Linen / Velvet

A city of sharp contrasts — as well known for the ostentatious splendor of the Golden Temple as the Jallianawalah Bagh Massacre that carved its name in blood across the national consciousness. The contrast is evident in the art of weaving that underpins all of Amritsar’s economic history. Amritsar fabrics, especially velvet, are traded across India’s colder regions, yet the city itself basks in the tropical heat for much of the year. Whatever one makes of this peculiarity, there’s one thing that has remained true for decades — the Amritsar weave is unrivalled in this part of the world.

Roorkee – Nautical

Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, Roorkee has long been a town that valued resilient, precise craftsmanship. Flanked by the snow-covered mountains on one side and dense forests on the other, stuff built here really had to last. And it does — Roorkee is a town known for its rugged timepieces and nautical instruments. The last bastion of industry before the towns of pilgrimage that come beyond it, perhaps devotees-to-be paid this little town a visit to ensure their onward journey remained as peaceful as the temples they wished to visit.

Sambhal – Bone Inlay

If Uttar Pradesh were a jungle (which it is, in a way, just an urban one) with the many towns its animal inhabitants, Sambhal would be the strangest beast of all. Unlike many of the crafting towns in the region, this one reached its heyday centuries ago under Mughal rule. The past use of ‘heyday’ implies a decline, and while that may be true, Sambal’s slow fall brought a new industry to its rescue — bone inlay. The art of carving bone is a rare one, mostly due to the connotations involved, but when an entire community has little else to rely upon, they tend to become rather proficient at it. And for that we’ll be eternally grateful.
