Why Sharma Furniture Supports Local Artisans and Woodworkers

By Admin on 07/06/2025

Sharma Furniture – Jamshedpur’s First Furniture Showroom Since 1972

At Sharma Furniture, our journey has always been rooted in people — in the families we serve, the homes we help build, and the hands that craft each piece of furniture we offer. Behind every chair, bed, and cabinet you see in our showroom, there is a story — and most often, that story begins with a local artisan.

In a time when much of the world is turning toward automation and factory-made goods, we’ve made a conscious choice to stay connected to tradition — by supporting local artisans and woodworkers across Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar and nearby regions. This isn’t just a business decision. It’s a reflection of who we are and what we believe in.

This blog explores why Sharma Furniture continues to invest in and work closely with traditional artisans, and how this choice benefits our customers, our community, and the future of Indian craftsmanship.


The Human Touch Behind Every Piece

There is something timeless and honest about handcrafted furniture. Each piece carries the imprint of the artisan who made it — the slight curve of a chisel, the burnish of hand-polished wood, the symmetrical elegance of an old-world carving technique passed down from generation to generation.

Our artisans are not just workers — they are custodians of heritage. Many have been crafting furniture for over 30 years, learning the trade from their fathers and grandfathers. These are not skills you learn from a manual — they’re honed through years of observation, practice, and passion.

At Sharma Furniture, we believe this skill deserves not just respect, but active support.


Why We Prioritize Local Artisans

1. Superior Quality from Experienced Hands

Mass-manufactured furniture often relies on shortcuts — plywood, veneer, synthetic finishes. In contrast, our artisans work with solid woods like Sheesham and Teak, using traditional joinery techniques that ensure strength and longevity. You can feel the difference the moment you touch it — the weight, the grain, the warmth.

2. Sustainability and Responsibility

By working with artisans from nearby regions, we reduce the need for long-distance shipping and wasteful packaging. This means a lower carbon footprint and better use of local resources. It also means fewer chemicals, less plastic, and more eco-friendly choices for your home.

We also use responsibly sourced wood and train our partners to reduce waste during production — from smart offcut usage to reusing polishing material.

3. Empowering Livelihoods, Not Machines

Each handcrafted piece you buy helps an artisan feed their family, educate their children, and preserve a way of life. We believe in creating stable incomes and long-term support systems for the people who make our products possible.

That’s why we pay fair wages, offer regular work, and provide design guidance that helps them grow and evolve with customer preferences.


A Personalised Experience You Can’t Get Elsewhere

Big brands and online platforms offer standard sizes and styles. But what happens when your room needs something different? A shorter wardrobe? A puja unit in a specific direction? A bed with hidden storage that matches your décor?

That’s where our collaboration with local artisans really shines. Because of our flexible model, we can offer custom-made furniture tailored to your space and your traditions. Whether it’s a newlywed’s pooja room cabinet, a modular kitchen corner, or a swing for your garden, our artisans can bring it to life — with character and craftsmanship.


Preserving Indian Craftsmanship

India’s rich legacy of woodworking — from Mughal-inspired carvings to temple architecture motifs — is slowly disappearing under the pressure of cheaper imports and assembly-line furniture.

By continuing to commission and showcase handcrafted work, Sharma Furniture plays a small but meaningful role in preserving India’s craft heritage. Many of our signature designs feature local motifs and detailing, honouring the region’s culture while giving our customers something truly unique.

We also regularly introduce fusion pieces — designs that blend traditional Indian carving with minimalist modern silhouettes, making them ideal for contemporary homes.


Stories Behind the Wood

Every now and then, we meet a customer who shares a memory: a pooja mandir their grandmother gifted from our store 40 years ago, or a dining table where generations have gathered for Diwali dinners. That furniture wasn’t just well-built — it was hand-built by someone who put care into every step.

These stories remind us that our work isn’t about selling furniture. It’s about helping people build homes, memories, and legacies.


Our Commitment to Community

Here’s what Sharma Furniture continues to do to support artisans:

  • Consistent Orders: We provide continuous work throughout the year, not just during peak seasons.
  • Fair Wages: We ensure that every artisan is paid fairly and on time, with transparency and respect.
  • Design Training: We help artisans stay updated with modern design trends so their work remains relevant.
  • Skill Development: Through workshops and collaboration, we bring traditional skills into new formats — like modular furniture, knock-down designs, and ergonomic builds.
  • Recognition: We showcase our artisans’ work in-store and online, giving credit where it’s due.

Why It Matters to You

When you buy from Sharma Furniture, you’re not just decorating your home. You’re:

  • Supporting a family’s livelihood
  • Reducing environmental impact
  • Keeping Indian traditions alive
  • Getting a product made with genuine care and pride

Every rupee you spend goes further — into the hands of skilled craftspeople, into the strength of real wood, and into furniture that doesn’t just fill a space, but adds soul to it.


In Conclusion

At Sharma Furniture, we’re proud to be more than a furniture store. We are a bridge between tradition and modernity — between the artisans of Eastern India and the homes of families across generations.

Supporting local artisans isn’t a trend for us. It’s our foundation.
It’s what makes our furniture personal, powerful, and full of purpose.

So, the next time you step into one of our showrooms, remember:
You’re not just buying a product. You’re backing a promise.
