Homes are an extension of the self and an expression of individuality; the choice of décor and furniture pieces reflects the owner's personal taste, design aesthetic, and larger vision.The market today, on the other hand, is cluttered with poorly-made and mass-reproduced products with little character – products that have no heart or soul. The overarching trend, therefore, that is dominating the landscape of furniture design in 2018 is an increased interest in bespoke pieces in vintage style states Aarti Aggarwal, Founder and Principal Designer, Knock On Wood. She further shares why bespoke furniture is back on trend.

There are innumerable options available to consumers today – buying directly off the shelf, or through online portals. Most stores, however, carry the same run-of-the-mill items; the consumersare disenchanted and progressively looking for something more! In a Post-Fordist world, customization is the new dream!
Bespoke furniture reveals an attention to detail and an understanding of the client's needs that large scale manufacturing cannot match. It encourages experimentation and defines personal style, while serving functional requirements.
Tailored to the home's size, style, color, shape, texture, fabric, and material, bespoke furniture is built to last a lifetime, and gives the home a deep sense of authenticity, warmth, and character.
Furthermore, India is home to a plethora of rich traditions in art and craftsmanship; It is imperative that designers work towards reviving these age old techniques. There is an unparalleled beauty and meaning that handcrafted products bring to our lives. The fusion of global sensibilities with ancient Indian traditions presents a unique opportunity for the visualization of timeless and innovative pieces of furniture for the home.
