Antique India Furniture
Status: Homepage and design foundation complete; shop planned
A luxury furniture website concept with a warm, editorial visual direction for the Indian market. The documented build establishes the design foundation and homepage, while shopping and checkout capabilities remain planned.
Case study
A website for a luxury furniture brand aimed at the Indian market, built around a warm, editorial visual direction. The work so far covers the design foundation and the homepage; the shop is planned.
The problem
Translate a brand direction of modern Indian luxury and artisanal craft into typography, spacing, imagery and motion, so the site reads like an editorial publication rather than a catalogue.
What was built
- Design tokens, a font pairing, a shared layout and the homepage.
- A hero entrance animation and scroll-driven reveals.
- Product data shaped so it can later move into a CMS or backend.
Key decisions
- Gloock and Jost are paired to carry the editorial direction.
- A warm, artisanal presentation instead of a purely transactional catalogue.
- Product data is CMS-ready, without pretending a CMS exists yet.
Where it stands
The homepage and design foundation are complete. The shop, product pages, cart, payments and further content pages are planned, not built.
