About Anara
1. What inspired the creation of Anara?
The story of Anara begins not with noise, but with pause. Founder Pratham Agarwal, raised among the textures of tiles and tools, noticed what few did: the basin, ever functional, had been left behind in the world of design. It was used, but not loved. Necessary, but never celebrated. What followed was a reimagining of form, of purpose, of presence. Anara was born to transform this overlooked fixture into sculptural vessels — quiet objects that speak deeply.
2. What materials and processes are used in Anara’s products?
Anara’s work begins where earth meets intention. Our vessels and columns are handcrafted in India from natural materials like marble and handmade concrete, each chosen for its ability to carry both sculptural and utilitarian intent. Every piece is shaped slowly, deliberately, by artisans whose techniques have been honed over generations. We honour traditional processes yet push form forward, creating objects that speak in silence and structure. No two are alike, because no space, no story, no soul is alike.
3. What does Anara stand for as a brand?
Anara stands where function meets feeling. We believe design is quiet intention, not decoration. Our forms don’t seek attention — they hold it. They anchor space with presence, not noise. For those who value permanence over trend, and depth over display, Anara offers a different kind of luxury — quiet, intentional, enduring. To us, utility is sacred. And each piece is a gesture of care, a way to bring meaning back into the everyday.
The Meaning
Anara was born from a quiet observation: that in the pursuit of beauty, the most intimate details are often overlooked. We saw a space within the home that deserved more reverence, where design could transcend utility and offer something far more human. In a world of mass-produced sameness, Anara returns to the elemental. Guided by India’s rich legacy in materials like marble and concrete, and inspired by global, sculptural design, our pieces are not just objects. They are forms shaped with care. Forms that hold water, yes, but also memory, stillness, and ritual. At Anara, we design with presence and intention, believing that every space deserves objects that mean something. Through this platform, we invite you into a world of slow, thoughtful living, where design is not decoration, but devotion.
