KhojCrafts opens first boutique studio in Bengaluru

Gurgaon-based home décor brand KhojCrafts has opened its first boutique in Bengaluru. The studio at Indiranagar pays homage to Indian craftsmanship, showcasing handpicked pieces from artisans hailing from different states. Whether you are an art connoisseur or just a curious visitor, the Bengaluru studio offers an immersive experience into India’s diverse culture.

Some of the standout pieces include refurbished teakwood cinema chairs, Naga tribal panels and planters, handcrafted traditional pillars, and elemental stone lamps. While each installation tells a tale of the region it comes from, and the materials are traditional, they can easily find their place in a modern Indian household.

“The pieces you find here are timeless, the idea is to use them in a more contemporary manner,” says Mansi Joshee, co-founder of KhojCrafts.

Talking about curating each piece, Mansi says, “Each creation should be a piece, which we believe has a story to tell, showcasing a certain type of craft, and also how we see it fitting into a contemporary household.”

KhojCrafts also features delicate textiles, such as the panel featuring Mata ni Pachedi, a traditional form of sacred textile art from Gujarat. The hand-painted cloth panels are used in the worship of different goddesses. “Indian crafts are like rivers; they are not static. There are always influences feeding it and leading out of it,” says Mansi.

The studio also features pieces such as mixed-material consoles that layer wood, resin, and metal in bold geometrics and masks with a big styling edge, floor rugs with tribal motifs and decorative stone sculptures.
