Somavelli works closely with artisan communities across India, providing them with meaningful and sustainable livelihoods. By valuing their expertise and supporting their growth, the brand not only uplifts lives but also ensures that these invaluable skills continue to thrive for future generations.
“I live in a craftsman house, but I’m a big fan of modernist and mid-century furniture and architecture, too. But my dream is to do a truly original chair design, something that is all these different things but is my own, too.”
Craftsmanship
Each Somavelli piece is handcrafted using centuries-old techniques passed down through generations. Our artisans pour dedication and precision into every design, ensuring authenticity and uniqueness.

At a time when many skilled hands risked fading into obscurity, our founder recognized a greater purpose – to revive centuries-old techniques and give them a new life in today’s world.
