The people behind every piece.
Every Sutrayan piece is hand-finished in one small workshop in our workshop. Fourteen pairs of hands — laser-keying, sanding, staining, signing — make the pieces you see on these pages. This is who they are and how they work.
01 · The workshop
One room. Fourteen hands.
The atelier is a single-floor workshop on the quiet side of a quiet lane — timber stockyards on one side, a row of rickshaw-puller tea stalls on the other. Every piece on sutrayan.com starts, finishes, and ships from this one room.
02 · The material
Seasoned wood, natural stains.
We work in birch, engineered pine, and sheesham offcuts where the grain permits. Every stain is mixed in-house — walnut oil with iron-gall topcoat, satin polyurethane for pooja-room humidity (up to 85% RH).
Every piece is traceable to the hand that signed it.
The Certificate of Authenticity that ships with every piece carries a batch number. That number links back to the artisan, the material, and the date the piece left the atelier.
