Khenshu unveils the dazzling Rose Quartz collection that flaunts an array of exquisite semi precious stones which are embellished on pure silver sheets.

Khenshu is a luxury furniture and decor design house that works closely with various dying art and craft forms and gives them a contemporary twist. Inspired by the “Make in India” initiative, Khenshu is helping bring various India art forms on the global luxury decor market. 

The founder, Aishwarya Reddy saw an opportunity and demand for hand-crafted luxury furniture of Indian origin and launched Khenshu in November 2019 with its flagship store at The Leela Palace, Bengaluru.   Khenshu is a design house that creates beautiful pieces of furniture and décor accessories inspired by the meticulous architecture and decorative arts of bygone eras. Celebrating the nuanced workmanship of skilled Indian artisans who have worked in Royal palaces, the brand aspires to bring back the traditional opulence and culture of India into contemporary settings.

Their in-house team of designers in Bengaluru comes up with the furniture designs for the “karigars” or craftsmen, to begin production at its Rajasthan facility. The design and manufacturing process uses the best of the two worlds – blending the traditional art form with modern manufacturing techniques.

Khenshu’s latest offering — Rose Quartz collection — witnesses a finessed amalgamation of Rococo and Neoclassicism styles which flourished during the reigns of the famous Louis XV and Louis XVI of France. Rose Quartz, or popularly known as the ‘love stone’ is a semi-precious gemstone which opens and heals the heart chakra; and is beautifully weaved into each of every single piece of furniture and accessory in this collection. The backbone of the collection and what gives it its distinct identity are the pure silver sheets which are used in the construction of the structure. To ensure that the product is long lasting the silver sheets are pasted on old building teak and are weathered through seasons to avoid expansion. The range is made entirely by skilled hands, and took over six months in the making.

Designed and crafted to fit into modern minimalist spaces or grand contemporary settings; each piece is full of character, has wonderful stories to tell, and is most definitely a conversation starter. The fine ensemble includes consoles, mirrors, sofas, armrests, chaise loungers, bookends and table-lamps carved in pure silver using ancient techniques mastered by Indian artisans.

Celebrating Indian craftsmanship and world history, Founder & Creative Director, Aishwarya Reddy shares – “India has an abundance of heritage and craftsmanship to offer and it is our responsibility to support this. We are rebuilding a community of forgotten Indian artisans who’ve worked in palaces; and are reviving their crafts and highlighting and bringing forward their expertise.”

Indeed, Khenshu is a true crusader of the Make in India movement.
