The workshop — hand-finishing a frame
Chapter I

Wood & Veneer

The structure of every table is solid wood — selected for density, seasoned for stability, and cut so the grain works with the form rather than against it. Veneers are matched sheet by sheet; a Negroni in dark walnut carries a continuous grain that wraps the frame like a single ribbon.

Each frame is offered in PU Matt, Satin or Gloss — three depths of light for the same wood. The choice changes the character of the piece entirely, which is why we send physical swatches before a single cut is made. Order finish swatches →

A veneer is not a surface. It is the biography of a tree, read in cross-section.

Slate & Stone

Beneath the cloth of every serious billiards table lies slate — ground flat to tolerances finer than a millimetre, because the ball must roll true on the last inch as it did on the first. Our stone-series pieces go further: Stoner in white or black marble, Travertino in travertine, Rosso Levanto in its namesake red — tables where the material itself is the statement.

Stone is heavy, honest and permanent. A 500-kilogram table does not wobble, does not drift, does not age. Explore the stone series: Stoner, Travertino, Rosso Levanto.

Cloth & Leather

Cloth colour is the fifth wall of a game room. We offer the full spectrum — from tournament greens and blues to the black felt of the Kingston and the mustard of a royal-blue Negroni. Pockets are dressed in leather that will darken and soften with a decade of play, the way good leather should.

The Finish

Finishing is where weeks are spent invisibly. Sealing, sanding, layering, curing — then again. A PU gloss finish on a bar cabinet carries seven coats; you see none of them, only the depth they create together. Metallic detailing is applied last, by hand, because machines do not understand restraint.

Luxury is the labour you cannot see, in the place you cannot stop looking at.

Crating & Installation

Every piece leaves the workshop in protective wooden crating, built around the piece rather than chosen from stock. Our own team delivers and installs across India — levelling, alignment, cloth dressing — and returns whenever needed. Re-clothing, refinishing and replacement parts are part of ownership, for life.
