Amongst their recent projects they have been making home furniture for individuals and families. As seen the design uses traditional carpentry methods using teak wood for the wall cabinets that hang from the much celebrated 'shaker pegs' on the wall. These ‘shaker pegs’ run all along the wall length so that one can also hang other kitchen accessories like pots, pans and veggie bags.
