The idea of Wriver was born in 2021 when co-founders Sajal Lamba, Kapil Bharti, and Jitender Singh, and Sudhir Verma—also founders of Alsorg Interiors—shared a vision of making luxury accessible. They wanted to address a void in the market for high-end, ready-made pieces that also had a swift shipping period. With its flagship store in Gurugram launched in August 2022, followed by experience centres in Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad in the months of December and April 2023 respectively, plus an online presence, this young brand harmoniously combines functionality and comfort.
Wriver presents an aesthetic that is contemporary, abstract and minimalist. The range includes upholstered chairs, sleek consoles, bed frames, bar cabinets and more. While the Arte collection combines materials highlighting its inherent playfulness, the Finn collection embraces simplicity with its streamlined designs and the Brezza shelving unit from the Primo collection stands out for its versatility. The Mollis chaise by Studio Sumeet Nagi, from the Fium collection, is an invitation to relax. It represents a fusion of the industrial and the organic with its soft lines and contours. Derived from the Latin word for “soft” and combining metal with fabric, its gentle curves and subtle hues exude warmth.
To enhance the innate potential of wood, stone, metal, glass, or any material that they’re working with, and to bring out true textures and tactility, Wriver’s designs stem from constant experimentation and innovation. “Our team of designers and artisans work with research-based techniques that respond to technological evolutions, and that’s the approach we like to take when shaping objects,” shares Lamba. The Lastra shelving unit, for instance, features an oxidation-finish technique on metal. “The resulting protective layer, patina, not only enhances the visual appeal of the metal but also acts as a barrier against further corrosion and deterioration,” he adds. Wriver is born with an intent to work within the concept of luxury furniture design while maintaining the authenticity of products. “We have an intrepid ambition of establishing India on the world map of design, and Wriver is a step in that direction,” he concludes.
