Studio One-offs

Some briefs don't fit a category. These pieces began as a single problem in a single home — built once, for one reason, and kept on record here.

How One-offs Are Made

01

Function First

Every one-off starts with what the piece must do. Form follows the problem — the Jhoola dismantles because it has to live in a cupboard for the other 364 days.

02

Storage That Earns Its Space

In an apartment every object competes for floor area. One-offs are designed to fold, stack, mount or dismantle, so they give space back when not in use.

03

Timeless, and Personal

Made once, for one home. Restrained forms age well, and the details — a name, a date, a family ritual — make the piece impossible to replace.

Dismantlable Jhoola

The biggest challenge with a traditional Jhoola in a modern apartment is not the festival, it is the other 364 days. Where does it go? This Jhoola is built on the principles of Japanese joinery, no hidden hardware, no glue-dependent joints. It assembles and dismantles with minimal tools, collapsing from a 3ft × 3ft swing to a 1.3ft × 3ft flat pack that stores upright in a cupboard.

Questions

About Studio One-offs

What is a Studio One-off?

A piece designed and built once, for one brief that doesn't fit a standard category — a dismantlable jhoola, a wine rack for a small dining room. It is recorded here, never mass-produced.

Can I commission a one-off piece?

Yes. That is how every one-off begins. Tell us the problem, the space and how the piece will be used; we design around it.

Can you make a jhoola for an apartment?

Yes. Our Jhoola is fully knock-down: it assembles without tools and packs flat for storage. Size and wood can be specified for your home.

How long does a one-off take?

It depends on the piece. Most take 3–5 weeks from a finalised brief; we confirm the timeline before work begins.

Can a one-off become a catalog piece?

Sometimes. If a one-off solves a common problem, it can be refined into a catalog design — but the original stays one of one.

Do you deliver outside Bangalore?

Yes, across India. Large pieces are built to dismantle and ship flat with an assembly guide.
