Mumbai-based artist Dr. Aashna Khosla Monga is redefining luxury through furniture restoration. She believes old furniture possesses a unique character unmatched by factory-made items. Her work gives cherished family pieces, like almirahs and trunks, a second life, preserving memories and history.
Dr. Monga collaborates closely with clients, understanding the sentimental value and story behind each piece. She then designs a restoration that retains its original essence while incorporating personal style and modern functionality.
Her celebrity clientele includes Drashti Dhami, for whom she restored a 50-year-old almirah for her child, and Rahul Dua, whose grandmother's vintage trunks were revived. Shamita Shetty even sought her expertise to learn restoration techniques for her own antique collection.
As trends shift away from fast consumption, restored furniture emerges as a symbol of thoughtful ownership and enduring luxury, proving that the most valuable possessions often carry the richest stories.
