Thar Art Exports

What Thar Art Exports does

Thar Art Exports is a privately held Indian manufacturer of handcrafted wooden and metal furniture, founded in 2003 by brothers Arun Kalani and Amit Kalani in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The company operates 5 integrated production units equipped with European wood-working machines and a high-tech metal manufacturing facility, supported by in-house seasoning and polishing capability with a stated monthly output capacity of 70 HC (high-cube) containers.

The product portfolio spans premium handcrafted wooden furniture (sideboards, dining tables, media units), metal furniture, and upholstery. Technology inputs are predominantly physical manufacturing assets rather than software: imported advanced wood-working machinery installed in 2005 forms the technical backbone, supplemented by integrated metal fabrication and finishing operations. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and is compliant with VRIKSH, SMETA, SEDEX, and CTC (Change the Climate) standards relevant to international retail procurement.

The business model is B2B export: Thar sells finished furniture via direct, quote-based contracts to international retailers, importers, and design professionals across 12+ countries including the USA, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and China. The company collaborates with designers from Europe and Shanghai on new product development but has no app, public API, software platform, or disclosed AI/ML capability. Pricing is custom and quote-driven per order specification, and no direct-to-consumer or e-commerce channel is operated; the website serves as a product showcase and lead-generation surface rather than a transactional storefront.
