About Khoj
Khoj is a curated house of objects defined by material integrity, restraint, and permanence.
We present a considered selection of pieces crafted in natural materials such as wood, stone, metal, marble, textiles, jute, and cane — materials chosen for their honesty, texture, and ability to age with quiet grace. These are objects with presence, designed to anchor a space rather than follow it.
Our Approach
At Khoj, curation is an act of consideration.
Each piece is selected and designed for its clarity of form, integrity of material, and depth of character. We work with materials that speak for themselves — grain, weave, patina, weight, and surface are allowed to remain visible.
Nothing is over-finished.
Nothing is disguised.
We value:
-
Real materials over imitation
-
Texture over excess refinement
-
Endurance over trend
Time as a Design Element
Khoj pieces are meant to evolve.
Wood deepens, stone softens, metal patinas, textiles relax, and natural fibres settle into use.
Time is not something we resist — it is integral to the life of each object. Our pieces become better with age, they are not fragile or delicate construction , but built to have people living and using them.
Patina is not a flaw.
It is a measure of authenticity.
A Measured Collection
Our collections are intentionally restrained.
Every object earns its place through purpose, proportion, and presence. This discipline allows each piece to exist fully — individually and within the spaces they inhabit.
Khoj does not seek to fill rooms.
We seek to define them. We fill them with presence and personality. Often a single piece is enough.
The Spaces We Belong In
Khoj is created for interiors that value:
-
Quiet confidence
-
Material depth
-
Thoughtful restraint
Our objects bring warmth, weight, and layered authenticity — creating homes that feel grounded, lived-in, and enduring.
Closing
Khoj is a search for objects that feel inevitable.
Rooted in material.
Shaped by time.
Chosen with intent.
Sustainability Matters : When the idea for Khoj was formulated, it was a time when many old buildings, structures and havelis were being dismantled. Age Old Stonework, Wood Bannisters, metal railings, marble jharokas were being torn down with impunity. However, with time and sensitization, there arose a better understanding , a need to preserve and cherish the architectural and craft legacy of our homes and cities.
Currently #singleuseplastic is trending, but sustainability goes beyond just the ban. For us, in our own small way, we have long since built sustainability into our designs, into the very DNA of Khoj.
Our work with repurposed wood, vintage discarded textiles and embroideries , broken marble jallis, stained, coloured glass darwazas , and more lies at the very core of our design pieces. Our most enduring designs, our most loved pieces are those that have emerged from these broken pieces. Our journey is to craft and reimagine them in a way, that their brokenness is the real beauty and new stories are crafted using them.
In many ways, it is similar to the art of kinsugi, the Japanese art of restoring pottery , it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
At Khoj, we continue to celebrate the old and the broken in new and unusual ways – Our serices of aged, and vintage Pichwais, embellished Ravi Varmas, a series of Burmese laquer bowls, vintage Gujrati toran, an old Hathi matha, a long tusker mask are all pieces that tell their story. Explore our Khazana Collection for some of our most memorable finds.
Our support to the artisans is at many touchpoints -- investing in their inventory, marketing, building and showcasing their craft, getting them fair price, interventions for design Improvements, building in quality control etc. During Covid times ,we provided financial support to a number of artists, as it was a period of struggle across all.
With time, we have built a pipeline of artists, artisans and partners who are aligned with Khoj and have been able to scale businesses and products often with Khoj as a building block.
