A little bit about us
Timeless Teak Symphony
Tectona Grandis Furniture (TGF) is a design-led furniture studio rooted in two decades of material exploration and hands-on practice. Founded in 2015 by NID-trained furniture designer Dhruvkant Amin and joined by Jalpa Amin with her strategic background in textiles and operations, TGF brings together design clarity, craft, and systems thinking.
Its work, expressive yet restrained, is built to last and designed to live with. With reclaimed teak as its symbolic and material anchor, TGF balances thoughtful design with scalable production. From a 50,000 sq. ft. facility in Ahmedabad, TGF serves architects, institutions, and homes across India and beyond. Quietly bold, deeply rooted, TGF stands for trust, timelessness, and thoughtful evolution.
Brand Philosophy
At TGF, we believe that design is not just what we make, it is how we think, how we build, and how we live. Good furniture is not about ornament or trend; it is about presence. It supports. It endures. It becomes a part of life, quietly and fully. We are driven by the desire to create work that is thoughtful and lasting. This means working with honesty of material, of proportion, and of process. It means respecting the pace of craft, and the people who bring it to life.
We build in wood, but we also build in trust between makers and users, between ideas and execution. Every piece that leaves our studio carries with it, the touch of a hand, and the clarity of intent. We do not measure value in volume. We measure it in care. In what remains long after trends fade or finish wear. For us, design is not a final gesture, but a quiet offering made to serve, to last, and to belong.
Founders
Founded in 2015 by Dhruvkant and Jalpa Amin, Tectona Grandis Furniture has evolved into one of India’s most respected furniture design studios, backed by a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. A furniture designer from the National Institute of Design, Dhruvkant brings a sharp instinct for form, proportion, and craft, shaping TGF’s identity with a hands-on, problem-solving approach and a deep respect for materiality.
Complementing his vision, Jalpa, drawing from her background in mathematics, training at the National Institute of Fashion Technology, and her family’s textile legacy, brings structure and strategic clarity to the studio. Together, their combined strengths in design, discipline, and operational excellence ensure that integrity, process, and enduring quality remain at the core of TGF’s philosophy.
Manufacturing Infrastructure
With over 65,000 sq. ft. of factory space and a dedicated team of 100+ members, Tectona Grandis Furniture brings together scale, skill, and advanced technology. Our growing facility is equipped with evolving high tech machinery that complements traditional expertise, allowing us to refine each process with precision and consistency.
As the team expands, we continue to invest in creating a workspace that enhances comfort, safety, and productivity. This balance of people first values and modern infrastructure ensures that every piece is crafted to international standards rooted in timeless design, yet responsive to the future of making.

TGF Values
Tradition Embraces Contemporary
We pair heritage joinery with contemporary clarity, letting the wood speak, the ripple of its grain, and the gentle weight that reassures you of its strength.
Sustainably built in-house, our designer pieces carry the soul of teak, grounding rooms today and becoming heirlooms tomorrow.
Rituals of Making
The making of each piece begins with teak, shaped carefully by hand. Joints are fitted with precision, the surface is patiently sanded, and natural oil is applied to bring out the wood’s warm tone, a finish that matures gracefully with time.

Passion Opens Up
New Avenues of Success
Have a dream, strive for it every day, and the universe conspires to make it happen. Dhruvkant Amin believed in it. His unwavering faith in starting a designer furniture studio of his own was realized after a series of successful projects.
After displaying his talent at IIT Gandhinagar, he bagged the project to redesign the historic building, The Navjivan Trust, founded by Mahatma Gandhi. Every piece of furniture designed resonates with the values and heritage of the building. Especially, the chairs designed for the Karma café have been named after the café, The Karma Chairs.
As the market was gradually opening up to the designer furniture, Dhruvkant Amin opened a full-fledged designer furniture studio, Tectona Grandis, in 2014 in Ahmedabad.
