It started with one carpenter.

In 2002, G. Sundar set up a small workshop in Karaikudi with one carpenter and one ambition: to build a business that lasts, the way good furniture does.

2002

One carpenter, one workshop.

G. Sundar started Kalingaa’s parent business in Karaikudi with a single carpenter, building furniture by hand.

The years between

Making for the names you know.

That small beginning grew into a furniture manufacturer supplying leading national furniture retailers. For years, our beds stood in their showrooms, and in their customers’ homes, under other names.

Now, straight to your home.

After years of making beds for others, we’re bringing that experience directly to you, as Kalingaa: a small, focused collection of teak beds, with nothing about them hidden.

How a Kalingaa bed is made.

From a stack of teak to a bed fitted in your room. Every step, in our own workshop in Karaikudi.

Every surface is sanded until the grain is smooth to the touch, because you’ll touch this bed every day for years.
