Daniel S Kitchens

Down on Thakker Street at number 12, that’s where you’ll find Daniel S Kitchens. Purasaiwalkam is a crowded place, and our shop is tucked right in there among the other local businesses. We mostly spend our days working with wood and different materials to put together kitchen spaces for people nearby. It’s a lot of manual work, measuring things out and making sure everything fits into the spaces people have in their homes. I started this because I liked building things with my hands. It isn't a massive showroom with bright lights and salesmen. It’s more of a workshop where things actually get done. Sometimes the floor is covered in sawdust and the phone won't stop ringing, but we manage. People from the neighborhood stop in to ask questions about their own kitchen projects, and we tell them what we think might work. We’ve been at this address for a while, and most of our work comes from people just hearing about us from their neighbors. It's a small team here. We aren't trying to be the biggest company in Chennai; we just want to get the job finished properly so we can move on to the next one. It’s hard work, and some days are longer than others, but being on Thakker Street feels like home to us. We just keep our heads down and keep building until the day is done.
