The Katran Collection has been our effort to weave ethics, ethnic and ecology with the contemporary culture. Katran in Hindi means small pieces of left over colourful cloth which is the by-product of cloth mills. These same cloth pieces are collected by farmers during their off seasons and spun into ropes and sold for the purpose of weaving traditional Indian day beds (Khatiyas).

Our effort has been to use this same vibrant material in an innovative way to create a collection of contemporary furniture and products that are sustainable and beautiful, having a high perceived value and a Glocal (Global + Local) appeal. The production of this chair is completely handmade and brought to life by the ethical interactions between various actors in the system, from the village to the city.

The Katran Collection is available in various textures and colours which has been carefully catalogued by us and gives our customers the possibility to customize according to their taste and requirements. In fact none of the katran furniture are absolutely alike due to their innate diversity of colours and textures, making each of them exclusive pieces.

The Katran Collection has been published and showcased at international design platforms such as the Ambiente Fair Frankfurt 2012, the Trienalle Design Museum Milan and the new Victoria & Albert Gallery in Shekou Design Museum, China. Currently the Katran High Back Chair is a part of an ongoing 10 year international travel exhibition called Pure Gold.
