Crafted to perfection

At Fashion Woodworks, the range of furniture is impressive, with deft touches being given by master craftsman Shanmugam.

The deft touches of a master craftsman are evident in the line-up of furniture at Fashion Woodworks, L.B.Road, Thiruvanmiyur. For artisan Shanmugam, creativity on wood has been a driving force since childhood. Working on premium quality wood like teak and white cedar, he translates classic and contemporary designs onto his medium with rare panache.

Fashion Woodworks, which has a clientele from as far as the United States, is now into crafting statues in teak. That art cannot be separated from his craft is reflected in the way the master craftsman has incorporated intricate designs to enliven the furniture. Liberal use of animal motifs and floral patterns are Shanmugam's forte. The artisan also specialises in executing portraits on wood. Take a look at the way myriad expressions are captured on his versatile medium. The wood boutique also takes orders for carved panels, doors, etc.

Sofas with a touch of ostentation, divans, comfortable rocking chairs, slick centre tables, luxurious cots, marble-topped cabinets... the range is impressive. Fashion Woodworks also takes orders for custom-made coordinated pieces to enhance your interiors.

The carpentry, wood research and development centre is located at No. 30, L.B. Road, Thiruvanmiyur, phone 4914826/4466742. An exhaustive catalogue of its creations can be browsed at www.fashionwood.com.
