India has been an integral part of our journey since the early 1990s. We work closely with multi-generational, family-run workshops that blend centuries-old craft traditions with soulful design. These artisans are masters of materials like mango wood, acacia, teak, and hand-forged iron, each chosen for its durability, beauty, and natural character.
Furniture from India often carries the imprint of time: hand-carved flourishes inspired by ancient architecture, richly textured finishes drawn from textile traditions, and an unmistakable warmth that comes only from pieces made slowly, by hand.
Many of our vintage treasures also originate here, sourced from havelis, rural estates, and old-world markets, each piece full of history, patina, and personality. Much like the culture itself, our Indian collections are bold, expressive, and full of soul.
Every Habitat piece is built by hand, crafted by skilled artisans using solid, natural materials and time-honored techniques. From frame to finish, every detail is considered with care and intention. This is furniture made by real people, not machines, carrying the character, quality, and soul that only handmade work can offer.
Habitat’s newly crafted collection features a curated selection of furniture made in small batches by skilled artisans. Built using solid wood, natural stone, hand-forged metal, and quality textiles, each piece is crafted using traditional joinery, upholstery, and hand-finishing techniques, blending old-world craftsmanship with clean, contemporary design.
While available in quantities, production remains intentionally boutique and limited, crafted slowly, with care, to preserve the quality and heritage of handmade work. These are tomorrow’s heirlooms, timeless pieces rooted in traditional craft, contemporary design, and made to last.

Is your furniture made from solid wood?
Yes. Our case good furniture is made from solid wood, stone, and metal—never veneers, plywoods, or plastics.
How do I clean my wooden furniture?
Dust regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, a damp cloth or mild household cleaners are recommended. Use coasters to protect surfaces.
Will my furniture have natural imperfections?
Yes, and that’s part of what makes it special. Whether vintage, reclaimed, or newly crafted, our pieces are made from natural materials and are handmade, so you can expect beautiful variations in grain, texture, tone, and subtle imperfections that give each piece its own unique character. These aren’t flaws, they’re the marks of authenticity and craftsmanship.
What’s the difference between vintage, reclaimed, and newly crafted items?
Vintage: Authentic pieces from the past with unique character and signs of age.
Reclaimed: Newly made products from reclaimed materials like old wood or stone.
Newly Crafted: Made new using traditional techniques and high-quality materials.
Will my product look exactly like the photo online?
Our product photos show a single piece from our current stock. Unless you’re purchasing a one-of-a-kind vintage item, you’ll likely receive a different piece from inventory, not the exact one pictured. We maintain consistency in style, finish, and overall appearance, but because we use real wood, natural variations in grain, tone, and texture should be expected.
