Calcutta Furniture

Our shop is at 242/2 in Ultadanga. If you know the area, you know how crowded it can get with the traffic and the markets. We have been here for a long time, and the place reflects that history. It is a bit worn down but it is where all the actual work happens. We focus on making solid furniture that people can actually use in their homes. It is not that modern, minimalist stuff that breaks easily. We like working with heavy wood. The smell of varnish is quite strong inside, especially during the summer months. We don't spend money on big ads or fancy signs. Most people find us because their parents or neighbors bought something from us years ago. The workshop is right there, so you can see the guys working on the frames and doing the upholstery. It is a bit messy with all the shavings and glue pots lying around. We don't have a formal way of doing things. You just come in, tell us what you're looking for, and we see if we can make it happen. It is a very local way of doing business. We aren't a big chain with a corporate office somewhere else. We are just here in Ultadanga, every day, doing the same work we have been doing for years. It is just a normal life for us and we enjoy the craft.
