Our Heritage
A Legacy Rooted in Timber. Crafted for Generations.
Three generations of timber expertise since 1961. What began as a family’s deep connection to exceptional hardwoods has grown into a luxury furniture brand, creating timeless pieces for modern living.
Our Story
From Forests to Forever Pieces.
In 1961, our family began as timber merchants, sourcing the finest rosewood and teak from sustainable forests across India. Driven by a deep respect for wood and its possibilities, we spent decades understanding its character, grain and extraordinary durability.
Today, that heritage lives on through BLACKGRAIN 1961, a furniture brand that transforms our generational knowledge into exceptional pieces for contemporary homes, crafted to be cherished for years to come.
Same roots. Brighter tomorrows.
