Kapuria Sofa Maker

At Kapuria Sofa Maker, we spend most of our time surrounded by fabric, foam, and wood. Our workshop and shop is at 2, Ravi Shashi Bldg, located on Tilak Road in Santacruz West. It is a busy street, but we like being here. The building, Ravi Shashi, is easy enough to find if you are walking down Tilak Road. We’ve been in this neighborhood for quite a while now. You can usually find us with sawdust on our clothes or measuring out a piece of velvet for a new project. We don't have a big fancy showroom with bright lights. Instead, you see the actual work being done. It’s a bit messy sometimes, but that is the nature of making furniture. People from around Santacruz often stop by to ask about repairs or to see what we are currently working on. We talk to them while we work. The sounds of the street outside—the horns, the people chatting, the birds—it all blends together. We’ve seen the seasons change from this window for years. In the summer, the heat makes the glue dry fast, and in the monsoon, we have to be careful with the wood. It’s just a regular life of making things with our hands. We aren't trying to be anything other than a local shop that does its work properly and honestly. Every sofa we touch gets our full attention while we are in the shop.
