Chisel Arts was established in Kolkata, India in 1985 with designer Amitabh Bachhawat and few of highly skilled craftsmen who could shape wood like putty in their hands. A Little Shop was set up in a garage of his ancestral house, where the designer would experiment with shapes, motifs, joinery and various wood finishes. Production of timeless designs were carried out with great care and with an eye towards European styles, that have been the basis of furniture manufacturing through out history and that remains a source of inspiration today.
