Are you fascinated by different cultures and civilisation? Have you always wondered how they lived? How were their houses built, what materials did they use, how did they cook?.What did they cook? Working as a business coordinator at a furniture store wasn't exactly going to fulfil my thirst for world knowledge. Even though I had worked with different furniture types from around the world like China, Malaysia etc, these items were designed for the Western market. Now, this shocked me, 150 years old and now being used as furniture?
Due to this diversity, you will see that cultural difference has influenced everything from furniture to food. Just as you will find numerous types of curries, biryanis and sweets, in different parts of India, you will find a vast range of furniture designs too. So, to understand the differences, we have a quick look into the history of Indian furniture and how it influences modern-day pieces. India had been a developing country for a long time which was mainly due to invasions and colonialism. Hence, in certain parts of India, the general public slept on floors, and there was barely any furniture in their homes.
