Perfect for dining spaces, lounges, or boutique interiors, the Charpai Light connects tradition, sustainability, and design innovation in every curve.

- Hand-turned and hand-painted by master craftsman Anwar
- 100% upcycled & sustainable, reducing landfill waste
- Components crafted in Pakistan | Designed, finished, certified in the UK
