"Some projects are less about exploration and more about precision, trust, and shared understanding — this was one of them."

Working with JAD Arch Studio — led by Arpit Jain — has been a relationship of mutual respect since the very start of our career. Having executed several projects together in the past, this project for Sushil Garg Residence was a seamless extension of our collaboration. The clarity of design language and understanding between us made this execution both smooth and highly satisfying.

Scope of Work:

- 10-Seater Solid Oakwood Dining Table
- 8 Handcrafted Dining Chairs (Including 2 Master Chairs)

Special Highlights & Execution Details:

- Dining Table crafted using full-length Solid Oakwood Planks (up to 13 feet long for a 10-feet final table).
- Lamination Joinery applied on the top surface for consistency and durability.
- Tenon Joinery applied for all leg structures for strength.
- Unique "Fins" at the leg ends designed by the architect — serving both functional and aesthetic purposes by allowing clearance for master chairs while adding visual interest.
- Master Chairs upholstered in fabric for added softness and comfort.
- Entire chair backrest was handcrafted — showcasing artisanal workmanship without machine intervention.
- The design celebrated the raw grains and natural character of White Oakwood.

"This project is a perfect example of how relationships in design and manufacturing evolve into creative harmony — where minimal communication can still deliver maximum design intent."
