Section IV of VII
The Craft
Behind every object, a workshop; behind every workshop, generations of hands. This is where we name them — the workshops, the materials and the way a drawing becomes a thing you can touch.

How every piece is made
- I
The Drawing
The designer authors the piece — every proportion, joint and finish drawn before a tool is lifted.
- II
The Prototype
The workshop makes a first piece. Designer and house review it, adjust it and approve it.
- III
The Making
Made by hand, in the workshop, by people we know by name — never outsourced, never anonymous.
- IV
Held to Drawing
Each piece is inspected against its drawing before it leaves the bench.
- V
Told in Full
It arrives credited — the designer, the workshop and the material — with its story.

Is your workshop one we should know?
We work with a small number of Indian workshops in wood, stone, metal, glass and textile — and credit every one of them by name. Tell us about yours.
