Hand-thrown ceramics, Japanese stonewashed linen, and aged oak pieces collected from makers who still care about craft. No seasonal collections. Just objects worth keeping.
Add an object that speaks to you.
Linen & Oak began when our founder, Nalini Mehta, found herself surrounded by beautiful things that needed replacing every few years — synthetic textiles, machine-stamped ceramics, flat-pack furniture that nobody's grandchildren would inherit.
She started sourcing differently. First from a single potter in Khurja, then from a weaver in Kutch who still sets up her loom before sunrise. Each maker was chosen for one reason: the object they produce can genuinely outlast the person who buys it.
Everything in our store is either handmade, sourced directly from the artisan, or produced in small-batch runs by workshops we've personally visited.

Stone and ceramic bowls need a first-seasoning before use. It takes ten minutes and extends the life of your piece by decades. Here's exactly how.
We visited Ramchandra Prajapati's studio at 6 AM. He's been throwing the same form for forty years. We carry three of his pieces. This is his story.
Unlike most textiles, Japanese stonewash linen softens with every wash and develops a patina. Here's what to expect over five years of use.
"The miso bowls arrived in packaging as beautiful as the bowls themselves. Six months in, mine has developed this warm patina on the rim that makes it look like it's been in the family forever. Nothing like anything I've owned before."
"I was sceptical that linen could actually replace cotton in a Mumbai summer. Wrong. The Kutch linen pillowcases are cooler, softer after three months than they were on day one, and they look better crumpled than anything else I've owned looks pressed."
"Bought the oak serving board as a gift. The recipient texted me a week later to say their guests had asked about it three times at dinner. That doesn't happen with things bought online. It's a proper piece."
