WE GO FURTHER TO FIND WHAT OTHERS DON’T.
Merchant & Foundry is a global sourcing and design house built around one simple belief: the most remarkable things are rarely found on the easiest path.
We work directly with makers, workshops, foundries, manufacturers and specialist suppliers across India and beyond, seeking out objects, materials and craftsmanship with character.
From architectural brassware and furniture to textiles, decorative objects and bespoke production, we bring together traditional skills, strong design and modern commercial thinking.
We are not interested in simply buying and selling products.
We build relationships.
We spend time finding the right people, understanding how things are made and developing ideas alongside the craftspeople and manufacturers capable of making them properly.
Sometimes that means discovering an existing object that deserves a wider audience. Sometimes it means taking a sketch, an old reference or a completely new idea and turning it into something real.
FOUND, MADE AND MADE POSSIBLE.
We source distinctive products and materials from trusted suppliers.
We develop original pieces in collaboration with makers and manufacturers.
And we connect businesses, designers, retailers and hospitality projects with production capabilities they may never otherwise find.
Our network allows us to move between small artisan workshops and larger-scale manufacturing, giving our clients access to both craftsmanship and commercial production.
Whether the requirement is a handful of exceptional pieces or an ongoing supply relationship, the principle remains the same:
Find the right maker. Make it properly. Build something that lasts.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF MERCHANT.
The word merchant has always meant more than seller.
Merchants travelled. They discovered. They connected places, people and ideas.
A foundry is where raw material is transformed into something useful, beautiful and enduring.
Merchant & Foundry sits somewhere between the two.
We travel, search, develop, negotiate, refine and produce — bringing together things that might otherwise never meet.
British ideas with Indian craftsmanship.
Traditional techniques with contemporary design.
Independent makers with international customers.
Old skills with new markets.
BUILT ON RELATIONSHIPS, NOT CATALOGUES.
The strongest part of Merchant & Foundry is not a warehouse or a website.
It is the network behind it.
We believe good sourcing comes from long-term relationships with the people actually making the product.
That means returning to the same workshops, developing products together, improving quality over time and creating partnerships that benefit everyone involved.
We want to know where something came from.
Who made it.
Why it was made that way.
And how we can make the next one even better.
Because when you remove the unnecessary layers between maker and customer, products become better, stories become richer and possibilities become much bigger.
