With Anupriya Sahu’s bold vision, Teakwood furniture becomes the heart of luxury interiors. There’s something quietly powerful about a piece of teakwood furniture. It doesn’t clamour for attention, it waits; warm, grounded, and lasting. In Alankaram’s newest collection, designed by Co-founder and Design Head Anupriya Sahu, teak takes on new life. This is furniture that doesn’t just occupy space, it composes it.
At the centre is Rikoma, a crescent-shaped two-seater that curves with intention. Its teakwood shell wraps around ribbed upholstery, drawing the eye without saying a word. It’s not just seating, it’s a pause, a moment held in form. Rikoma is joined by the fluted Parny centre table, its brushed brass base grounding the piece with understated elegance. A hidden drawer keeps the surface calm, because design should always offer more than it shows.
The Language of Teakwood Furniture
What makes this collection compelling isn’t just the use of teakwood. It’s how the material is allowed to speak. In the Udiv partition unit, teak is shaped into open rhythms, floating shelves, and deep drawers that divide, display, and dissolve boundaries all at once. It doesn’t demand symmetry; it suggests flow.
Even the smallest pieces carry this thoughtfulness. The solid wood candle stand, curved like a slow breath. The sculpted vase, cut to catch light in unexpected ways. The Dela rattan partition, airy, tactile, is designed not to close space but to whisper through it.
What links these creations is a shared spirit, one of belonging. Each product is deeply rooted in craftsmanship, yet fluid enough to adapt. Whether minimalist or layered, formal or relaxed, these pieces don’t just fit into rooms. They ground them, giving every corner purpose and quiet identity.
Design with Soul, Built with Intention
Anupriya Sahu doesn’t just design furniture. She builds ecosystems. Her studio, India’s largest for handcrafted solid wood furniture, is also a space for inclusion, with 35% of the workforce made up of skilled women artisans. The result is not just craftsmanship, but community.
What Alankaram offers through this collection is a quieter kind of luxury. Pieces that adapt, evolve, and age with grace. Pieces that can be customised endlessly but lose nothing of their soul. This is teakwood furniture reimagined, not as a trend, but as a way of living that values presence over noise, form over fuss.
Because sometimes, the most powerful designs are the ones that don’t shout, they stay.
