Traces is a furniture design studio founded by architect Chaitanya Mungilwar in Nagpur. With a passion for furniture design and an enduring fascination for wood, he began an exploration into how material, craft, and function could come together to shape meaningful spaces.
Our work emerges from a belief that furniture should be both functional and emotional designed to serve, but also to last. Each piece is handcrafted in solid wood, materials that breathe warmth and honesty into everyday living. Our designs draw inspiration from the quiet confidence of Mid-Century Modern and the timeless simplicity of Scandinavian design.
In an age where wood is being replaced by faster, man-made alternatives, Traces stands for the enduring beauty of natural material its grain, its scent, its ability to age with grace. Every mark, joint, and surface carries the memory of the hand that shaped it.
At our studio, each object is crafted with intent, the precision of design meeting the patience of handwork. The process values slowness over speed, allowing the wood to guide the maker. What results are pieces that are simple yet profound designed to outlast trends, and perhaps even generations.
We see our furniture as companions for life, evolving with time and use, holding traces of those who live with them.
