The cultural and regional diversity of
Indians not only dictates the variety in
furniture but also the material used for
making such items. One can find sofa sets,
settees, bookshelves, racks, cabinets, tables
etc made out of a variety of material like
wood, iron, cane bamboo etc. Each state
has its own distinct furniture tradition,
which is reflected in the motifs and patterns
adoring them. Gujarat and Maharashtra are
known for lacquered traditional wood furniture.
The furniture from Rajasthan is not only
decorated with delicate carvings but is
also painted in the local miniature style
of painting, depicting folklore.
