Bringing a unique set of complementary skills and a high level of integrity into Krea’s furniture
Our founders
Arvind Panwar, the co-founder of Krea, studied architecture at NIT Calicut before specialising in Furniture Design at the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad. Suman Panwar, co-founder, did her Masters in Fashion Design at NID, Ahmedabad too. Arvind’s education, travels and years of interacting with global designers have given him an extensive knowledge of materials and manufacturing techniques. Suman brings a sharp eye for detail and large project management skills. Their vast experience in partnering leading architects and design firms, delivering projects on schedule, and sensitive design solutions, have earned them the reputation of being knowledgeable and reliable.
Your furniture
Over the years, they have observed and documented their clients’ interactions with their furniture. Beds double up as discussion tables, or as dining spaces or become the perfect recliner to watch a movie from. As Arvind likes to say — ‘mera bed, meri marzi’. The favourite sofa becomes the pit stop after work or the place to curl up with a book and hot cup of chai.
Our response
Many of these requirements are intelligently built into Krea’s designs so that your furniture responds to your way of life. At Krea, everyone is taught that customisation and evolution of furniture is key.
Keeping a promise
The Panwars’ investment in an advanced manufacturing facility in Manesar, Gurugram is central to the ‘sensitive and sensible’ philosophy that Krea is founded on. It’s the vital link between their vision, drawn from the genius of India, and your home. Delivering on the vision depends on the technology and manufacture, driven by design.
But it’s equally important that you can experience all this for yourself. That’s the inspiration behind the Krea Store, located on the MG Road between New Delhi and Gurugram. Walk in, see, touch and smell.
Krea storeSustainability and sensitivity
Arvind and Suman ensure that each product is made with the finest sourced materials. When you acquire a piece from Krea, you help support livelihood down the line. Despite his hectic schedule, Arvind interacts with local craft people across the country; so keep an eye out for our forthcoming state-inspired collections.
