A Fusion of Heritage and Innovation

What sets Spero Furniture apart is its unique approach to materials and craftsmanship. They champion solid wood furniture created using time-honored techniques and natural finishes. However, Spero is not afraid to innovate. They explore striking combinations of:

  • Solid Teak and Contrasting Woods: Ensuring durability and rich, lasting beauty.

  • Metal & Brass: Introducing modern lines and elegant structural accents.

  • Regional Indian Crafts: Bridging the gap between grassroots artisans and contemporary design.

Each piece, whether it's the sleek lines of the Plug-in Console or the thoughtful ergonomics of the Research Table, tells a unique story, celebrating Indian craftsmanship while resonating with a global, contemporary taste.

Deeply Rooted in Sustainability


  • Zero-Waste Practices: Every inch of solid wood is utilized, and they prioritize the use of reclaimed wood whenever possible.

  • Natural Finishes: They deliberately steer clear of toxic polishes and harsh chemicals, instead developing natural pigments and stains from ingredients like indigo, coffee, and natural oils.

  • Conscious Materials: The furniture is handcrafted using eco-friendly materials such as wood, metal, cane, wicker, and ceramics.
