Our Story
Finding Creative Inspiration for your Space
Kalapentry is everything design & creativity. We are a group of creative minds, artists, designers, and architects, that have come together to create a sustainable line of furniture and home decor that is beautiful, friendly, adaptive, and innovative.
Kalapentry is a combination of ‘kala’ which means creativity, and ‘pentry’ is from the word carpentry. We are the Creative Carpenters.
At our core, we want to refurbish and reinvent old furniture, furnishings, and home decor and give them a brand-new life while creating a sustainable line of products for our customers. We are always looking for that junk in your backyard and finding new materials and designs to give it a makeover.
We also provide end-to-end design solutions to create collaborative, community-driven spaces for our clients. We want to build fun, creative & engaging spaces and work with cafes, restaurants, coworking and coliving spaces, offices, community centers, and everything that has community at its core.
Our services include refurbishing the old, space design, space styling, art & decor, and installations. We believe that your space must communicate and translate your ideas, vision, and philosophies to your team, customers, and other stakeholders. Every space has a story to tell and we help you build that story with our design
We also organize various events including The Garage Sale to create awareness about refurbishing, recycling, and reinventing existing furniture and home decor.
Identifying Sustainability and Minimal Maximalist Design
Our design philosophy
User-focused Design Approach

We believe the space must be user-friendly at its core. We follow a design approach that understands the users and their functional needs, along with the primary objective that our client wants to achieve with the space they are building.
-
Minimal wastage, sustainable approach to designing & building spaces
-
Maximalist design that will intrigue the users and drives creativity and curiosity.

Ensure the creative, functional, and financial viability of the project always
-
Recycling, repurposing, and refurbishing are at our core. We want to retain and utilize all the existing resources and materials available
-
Design that's sustainable - Sustainability is not just about the environment for us, it is also about being on auto-pilot mode, creating a space that will keep up with the changing trends, and designing in a way that change is possible.

The space has to tell your story. Period.

DESIGN CONSULTING
DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
Our strength lies in creating spaces that are collaborative in nature. Our philosophy is that every space tells a story and we help you tell your story through your space.
We provide turnkey design and development services and are also happy to collaborate on later stages of design and styling projects as well. We have a hybrid team of artists, product designers, architects, contractors, and design enthusiasts whom we work closely with.
REFURBISHING
We are continuously building our refurbishing, recycling, and upcycling vertical at Kalapentry. Furniture and home decor can last forever, but with changing trends, people are not aware of how to keep up with them. Instead of discarding we can always refurbish and repurpose our furniture and not just ensure great decor but also help save the environment.
From completely refurbishing to upcycling or restyling and art installations we do all kinds of recycling of furniture and home decor
ART AND INSTALLATIONS
We are continuously on the lookout for art & decor pieces and installations that can be installed on our sites. We design in-house as well as collaborate with various artists, artisans, and creative entrepreneurs both locally as well as from other parts of the country. Our expertise lies in reimagining things and placing them in your space in the most engaging ways.

BRANDING
We believe that space design translates into brand building in many ways. We work closely with our clients to understand their brand and communication and help them design their spaces that would enhance the overall brand image and strike a correlation with the company's culture and philosophy
BRANDING
SOCIAL MEDIA & MARKETING
Social Media/ Digital identity should talk about your brand, and help connect with your audience in the most authentic ways.
We love storytelling and know exactly how to align your story, identity, design, and what you offer together to tell a compelling story and better engage with your audience
We help you strategize and design your Social Media activities.
We believe that the right kind of design will enable you to build the right community!
