Tatva Furniture Studio

Our studio is tucked away on the first floor of Sawan Mall, right behind the Kargil petrol pump on the S G Highway. It is a busy part of Ahmedabad, and the noise from the highway never really stops. Inside our space at units 3 and 4, we have a lot of wood samples and half-finished pieces sitting around. We are not one of those big, shiny furniture showrooms where everything is perfect. There is usually some sawdust on the floor and the smell of varnish in the air. We spend our time working on designs and talking to people about what kind of table or chair they want for their home. Most of the folks who come in are locals from the Sola area or people passing through on the highway. I like being in the mall because it is easy for people to find us once they know we are behind the petrol pump. It is just a few of us here. We do not have a marketing team or anything like that. We just focus on building things that look decent. Sometimes a project takes longer than we thought, or the wood isn't quite right, and we have to start over. That is just how it goes with furniture. We are usually here from morning until late evening, especially if we are trying to finish a big order. It is a small shop, but it keeps us busy every single day of the week.
