Rustic at D2D
Rustic furniture is a speciality of ours, and the concept behind this style has moved on lots from the idea of roughening up a length of pine or oak to make some rustic living room furniture. For a start, exotic hardwoods from more distant places are favoured now above pine or oak, thanks to their toughness and the beautiful grain that they all show. The principal woods used in our rustic furniture collections are Acacia, Mango and Sheesham
Aside from the emergence of new woods, the big surprise with rustic furniture is that it has found its home in contemporary designs of all places. We do sell traditional Indian furniture, but our ground breaking contemporary designs in living room furniture like Dakota, Yen and Dewali are enhanced immeasurably by the richness of natural hardwoods that they incorporate. The success of these rustic furniture collections is a simple reflection of the fact that many customers do favour contemporary designs, but they also appreciate the natural beauty of wood above all other materials.
Due to the effort and skill involved in crafting contemporary furniture from wood that is inherently rustic and the experience and fine balance that this entails, the aforementioned contemporary collections are priced slightly above our out and out traditional rustic furniture. For those seeking the very best price and for those craving rustic furniture in its purest form we have our aggressively priced Mumbai Indian essentials range. This features living room tables, bookcases and tv cabinets
Rustic and quality are not at odds with each, or at least they shouldn't be as we know. We have partnered with leading manufacturers of rustic furniture who use the highest standards of hand carpentry to fashion desirable contemporary furniture from woods like Acacia, Mango and Sheesham. Yes, the rustic furniture in this category always shows evidence of the hand carpentry techniques from which it is born, and the woods used do exhibit natural imperfections, but the standards of workmanship are exceptional for furniture that is always very reasonably priced
