Fuego Furniture Pvt. Ltd.

If you head down Whitefield Road and turn into the Puttappa Industrial Estate, you’ll find us at 3/1. That’s where Fuego Furniture Pvt. Ltd. operates from. It’s a pretty standard industrial unit in Mahadevapura, nothing too special to look at from the outside. Inside, it’s a different story with the smell of cut wood and finish hanging in the air. We’ve got machines that take up most of the floor space, and there’s usually a trail of sawdust leading from the back to the front. It’s a noisy place most of the time, especially when the big saws are running. We don’t have a fancy reception desk or anything like that. If you walk in, you’re likely to run into someone covered in dust or carrying a heavy plank of wood. The lighting is a bit dim in some corners, but we know exactly where everything is kept. Boxes are stacked up to the ceiling, waiting to be loaded onto trucks parked out front. The estate itself is always moving, with vehicles coming and going at all hours. We just focus on what’s on the workbench in front of us. It’s a lot of physical work and the days are long, but there’s a certain rhythm to it that feels right. It’s just a bunch of people working with their hands in a crowded shop. Sometimes the machines break down and we spend half the day fixing them instead of making furniture.
