Competitions: Home Competition [Now Closed]

The Dumroo Collection is a distinctive home decor line that beautifully merges Indian cultural aesthetics with contemporary design. Crafted from sustainable materials such as mango wood and polished brass, each piece in this collection is a testament to eco-friendly craftsmanship. Mango wood, sourced from mature trees that no longer bear fruit, provides a renewable and durable foundation, while polished brass adds a touch of modern elegance. The Dumroo Collection not only enhances living spaces with its refined and contemporary forms but also promotes sustainability by utilizing materials that minimize environmental impact. This collection is a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, offering a stylish yet responsible choice for the conscious consumer.
