Home / Our workshop
Made slowly,
on purpose.
Vesper & Oak began in 2016 as two carpenters and a drawing board in a Lower Parel mill. Today 46 makers work across our Jodhpur joinery and Mumbai upholstery studio — still drawing every piece by hand first.
- 01
One maker, one piece
Every frame is built start to finish by one craftsperson, who signs and dates the underside.
- 02
Solid, not veneered
Kiln-dried Indian oak and teak from managed forests. No particle board, ever.
- 03
Made to order
Nothing sits in a warehouse. We cut your piece when you order it — 14 to 28 days.
- 04
Built to be mended
Zip-off covers, replaceable cushions, refinishable oil. A 10-year frame warranty.
“We would rather make one chair that lasts fifty years than fifty that last one.”
— Ira Malhotra & Dev Kulkarni, founders
