A workshop, not a showroom

A place to see how a piece takes shape.

The Hyderabad workshop supports making, material review and project conversations. Stone and timber are cut, carved, joined and finished alongside work in progress. Visits are scheduled so there is time to discuss a brief, look closely at materials and understand the scale of the work.

Workshop practice

Material decisions remain visible.

  1. 01

    Review the grain, edge, void, mass and structural condition.

  2. 02

    Develop a direction the material and intended use can support.

  3. 03

    Carve, join, balance and finish without erasing its character.

  4. 04

    Resolve handling, installation and the work’s destination.

What the practice makes

From singular objects to site-specific work.

Existing collections establish the practice’s range. A new commission is developed for its own material, scale and context.

Stone

Mass, grain and geological character.

Granite, coquina, limestone, glauconite and other catalogue-documented stones appear across sculpture, furniture, vessels and basins.

Explore stone

Wood

Grain, section and natural form.

Walnut, rosewood, teak, neem, acacia and other documented tropical hardwoods are selected according to the requirements of each work.

Explore wood

Representative works

Twelve points of entry into the practice.

Sculpture, furniture, objects, basins, mirrors and lighting from the current catalogue.

Bespoke commissions

Begin with a place, a need or a material question.

Web of Life works with collectors, architects and interior designers on individual pieces and site-specific commissions. The conversation can begin with function, scale, material, a particular setting or an existing work that suggests a direction.

Planning a piece or a visit

A few useful starting points.

What can I commission in wood or stone?

The practice includes sculpture, tables, consoles, seating, lighting, basins, mirrors and objects. A commission begins with the intended use, scale and setting; the material and form are developed for that brief. Explore collectible furniture, sculpture and the commission process for examples.

What should an architect or interior designer send?

Start with the project location, intended piece, approximate dimensions and photographs or drawings of the setting. A material preference, budget range and desired timing help frame the discussion. Handling, access and installation can then be reviewed alongside the design.

How are price, timing and availability confirmed?

Ask about the specific work or share your commission brief. Material, size, complexity and the workshop process shape the proposal and timeline. Catalogue examples show the practice; please confirm a piece’s current availability and location before planning a visit.

Studio visits by appointment

See the workshop and talk through the work.

This is an active workshop rather than a retail showroom. Please arrange a visit in advance so the team can prepare for the material or project conversation you need.

Auroville & Hyderabad

One practice, two continuing places of work.

Web of Life’s founding studio continues in Auroville alongside the Hyderabad workshop. Each is part of the same material practice; neither replaces or outranks the other.
