The Art of Handmade Furniture: Spotlight on Indian Craftsmanship
When it comes to creating a home that feels unique and full of character, few things compare to handmade furniture.
At Maravi, we believe every piece of furniture should tell a story - and our handcrafted Indian furniture does exactly that.
Why Handmade Furniture Matters
Handmade furniture isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about connection — to tradition, to materials, and to the skilled hands that bring each piece to life. Unlike mass-produced items, handmade pieces are built with care, often using sustainable wood and traditional techniques passed down through generations.
The result? Furniture with soul.
From intricate carvings to natural wood grains that make no two items the same, handcrafted furniture is designed to last and to be loved.
A Glimpse into Moradabad: The City Behind the Craft
Many of our signature pieces are made in Moradabad, a city in North India renowned for its artisan metalwork and woodcraft. Known as the "Brass City," Moradabad has evolved into a hub for skilled woodworking artisans who apply the same attention to detail that’s been celebrated for centuries.
These craftspeople don’t work on production lines — they work on benches, using chisels, mallets, and generations of knowledge.
