About Andaman Aisle

Andaman Aisle is a Bengaluru-based bespoke furniture brand built around one idea: that furniture should be designed for the person, not the catalogue. Every piece we make is crafted to order, collaboratively designed with the client, and built to last. We work with homeowners, architects, builders and interior designers who care deeply about their spaces, and our work reflects that standard.

The Role
