makers of fine hardwood furniture
bespoke architecture and interiors
‘Madras’ is a reflection of a civilization that is rich in history, alive in diverse culture and rooted in tradition. Its finest entities filter through the sieve of art and time to blot themselves into the fabric of this metropolis.
‘Makers’ are an ensemble of designers, work-smiths and craftsmen carrying forward centuries of craftsmanship learnt solely through apprenticeship and learning by the hand.
‘Madras Makers’ is an earnest effort in encapsulating the spirit of Madras of the past, present and future in the hands of our able craftsmen by creating timeless pieces of furniture through expressions of reclaimed wood that tie the past into the hands of today’s destined owners of these who will secure each timeless piece as heirlooms to leave a legacy for tomorrow.
Every piece of furniture is crafted with the mindfulness that it creates the scenery for a home or a space that wants to be populated with fine pieces that hold value.
how it all began
Prem Balasubramanian along with Carola Winnie envisioned creating a design practice as students of Architecture at National Institute of Technology, Trichy. In 2009-10, Prem went on to do his Master’s in Architec- ture (AVATAR), at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL London while Carola was setting strides in various nuances of design through her work experiences in Bangalore and Chennai.
Madras Makers is a design & build enterprise started in 2013, to give a holistic approach to augmented design with the harmony of resource, technology and craft
At Madras Makers, we say craft, because it is this aspect of design that makes every piece well rounded in character with fine proportions that creates a sustained affinity to the owner to behold and cherish it for a lifetime and beyond. In a genuine attempt to achieve this craft and dexterity, contrasting to quick commerce and mass production, we chose longevity which led to this intriguing journey along with our skilled, semi- skilled and motivated craftsmen. We build our ideas with their hands enabled by precision machinery at our factory.
Our capabilities extend from furniture to space design with fine technical and execution prowess with complete in house systems.
