Time is the best designer.
Somewhere in an old courtyard, there is a stone seat worn smooth at the edges. Generations have sat on it through quiet afternoons, long conversations and evenings that drifted into night, and each of them left a little of themselves behind. The surface has softened, the colour has deepened and the small marks of use have become part of its beauty. Pieces like this have lived a life of their own and they carry it with them. Taho begins with that belief. We make furniture and objects that are meant to be lived with, so that years of use add to their character, the way time does to everything worth keeping.
Where we come from
Our story starts in Moradabad, where our family has worked with metal for three decades. It is a city that has long known how brass, bronze and aluminium behave as they are poured, cast, hammered and finished. Taho grew from that knowledge, and from a wish to bring it home to the spaces where people actually live.
From the metal to the stone, every piece is made by specialists who have trained and grown within our own workshops over many years. Sandcast metal is paired with travertine, marble and Italian stone, and each piece carries the small variations of how it was made.
What we believe
Look closely at the stambhs that hold up India’s old buildings and you will find carving, proportion and detail in something built simply to bear weight. Our builders turned a structural necessity into an expression of art. We hold ourselves to the same idea: a table, a bench or a side table should do its work beautifully, and it should have a soul of its own.
We also believe that looking back is often the best way to understand what to build next. Our forms are contemporary, and they carry forward what Indian builders and makers understood centuries ago about material, space and the way people gather.
What we make for
Every Taho piece is made for a moment that matters: evening tea on the veranda, a long family dinner, a game that runs past midnight. It is also made for the people who will sit there long after us. The brass will warm, the stone will deepen, and the piece will slowly become part of a family’s story.
We call them collectibles that age with grace, made for the corners you love the most.
