Today on the blog we feature, Shakti Ganapati – Solid wood furniture designers and manufacturers in Chennai. Founded in 1995, Shakti Ganapati was led by Deepak Chengappa, Principal Designer / Visionary, along with his wife, Reshma Chengappa. Ever since, Shakti Ganapati has been well reviewed and has carved a niche for itself as an authentic solid wood furniture and design centric furniture label.
Tell us a bit about yourself
Shakti Ganapati Furniture was started, so that my husband Deepak could live his dream to make great furniture. Wood is the most natural renewable resource we have been provided with, on earth. It dies, decays, and regenerates into many different forms, by the laws of nature. By making good furniture that lasts through the ages, we believe we are giving the timber we work with, an extension of life.
How did you begin Shakhi Ganapathi and how has it evolved over the years?
In 1995 we started Shakhi Ganapati with one carpenter and one helper. Deepak would meticulously train them to deliver quality, classy products. Over the years we have invested all that we have earned back into the firm, and are now a team of 9 people working towards delivering only the best products for our customers.
Any favourites from your collection.
We love all the pieces that we make, and try to make each piece better than the previous one. Our endeavour is to always give our best to our clients, and we never compromise on work or raw materials at any cost. We hope to make every piece great, and hope you will fall in love with every one of them.
Solid wood furniture design house in Chennai
Your USP.
All our furniture designs have their roots in traditional practices, giving them a timeless quality, but our designs are modern and are all original. We take care to make prototypes for our products, which are corrected for comfort, structural stability and visual balance before being offered as a product.
All woods used are tropical hardwoods like teak, padauk, mahogany, wenge and white cedar. Sycamore and beech are used for some of the lighter pieces. No plywood is used in any of the furniture. The furniture is given a deep-penetrating oil finish. The wood is kiln-dried before the furniture is made.
All of the practices at Shakti Ganapati are geared to ensuring that the furniture remains strong and stable for a lifetime.
