Our story · Since 2012
We make furniture to be lived with, not looked at.
Velmora Living began with two brothers, four master carpenters and a stack of seasoned sheesham in Jodhpur. Today we design and make for homes across India — still by hand, still in our own workshops.

Our craft
Eleven pairs of hands, one piece of furniture.
Step 01
Selecting timber
We buy seasoned logs from certified yards and dry every board to below 12% moisture.
Step 02
Marking & joinery
Mortise-and-tenon and dovetail joints are marked and cut by hand for strength that lasts.
Step 03
Shaping by hand
Edges are planed and sanded by hand through six grits until they feel like silk.
Step 04
Finishing
Natural oils and hard waxes are built up in thin coats and inspected under daylight.

Responsibly sourced wood
Good furniture starts in the forest.
We buy plantation teak from certified growers, reclaim sal from old railway sleepers and choose FSC-certified timber wherever it is available. Offcuts become small pieces and kindling, finishes are low-VOC, and every piece is built to be repaired rather than replaced.
