The Way We Make

At Odd Collective, the way we make is as important as what we make. Founded in 2025 by architects Maya Nair, Lumina Cleetus, Vaishali Vasikaran, and Niddhi Karnani, the studio was born from a shared curiosity and an instinct to question the familiar.

Letting Time Take Its Course

Our way of making is slow, deliberate, and deeply considered. Each piece begins as a quiet inquiry, into material, proportion, and balance and unfolds through experimentation and an ongoing dialogue between hand and idea.

Evolving Crafted Imperfection

We allow materials to lead, imperfections to become character, and craft to evolve rather than remain static.

Crafing with Intent

Guided by intention and imagination, every creation is shaped through a process where form, material, and intuition come together without haste. The result is furniture and objects that feel unruly yet refined, unusual, unexpected, and unforgettable.
