/ˈkɛrnɪç/
Adjective (German)
Literally translating to; robust & powerful, the word “Kernig” represents our vision in literary form.
Since the inception of our furniture manufacturing outfit in Jodhpur, India, we have been committed to making pieces with careful construction, immaculate finish and longevity. At Kernig Krafts, we believe that well crafted, timeless furniture should be accessible to all. Using the highest quality material, we work in tandem with our clients to create products, as minimal or as elaborate as they desire within the time constraint.
We believe in manufacturing furniture according to our clients’ needs and requirements instead of pushing pre manufactured products to them. As a team, we value customer satisfaction above everything else. The content of a client upon receiving custom-made furniture is unparalleled.
The brainchild of two friends, Anup Garg and Shishir Agrawal, Anup brings with him a solid background in Business management and Shishir, his years of experience in Project execution & Design implementation to the company.
Their hometown, Jodhpur, also known as the Sun city, with its quintessential Rajasthani architecture & rich cultural heritage has become the perfect backdrop for their project.
Kernig Krafts is a brand that specialises in making customised products, our love for unique design inspires us to create new & innovative products everyday! Brands sell what they make. What sets us apart is that we make what you want us to make.
Cafés, restaurants and hotels. Maybe it’s our ever rumbling stomachs or the experience we have in making theme based furniture, that has resulted in us sharing a special relationship with the food and beverage industry.
Forging friendships with our clients. Our client visits and these site visits often end up with us becoming friends with our clients.
Passionate about our work. We are passionate about starting and finishing up as well, perfectly that too. To make sure that our projects look and feel the way we envisioned them, we visit our sites (take a look at our Instagram) and take our cameras with us!
Travel. There is something to be learned from every place in the world. Whenever we travel, we visit the local markets, stare at the architecture, scouting for creative inspiration for our next range of products.
Our ever growing team is young & energetic, with expertise in our respective domains. After working on 400+ projects (as on Aug 2019) our work, our expertly crafted products successfully reflect our experience. What sets our team apart is our zeal for our craft and what we do.
