Pune’s furniture market would beat any furniture market of Mumbai or Delhi; from Amar Colony to Oshiwara Furniture market. Pune is a whole different ball game compared to the hustle and bustle of Mumbai or the fancy-schmancy vibes of Delhi.
Pune has a mix of old-world furniture which has got a twist of elements of a cool start-up. It’s like the furniture cannot decide whether it wants to be a grandmother or a Bangalore start-up. But that is what makes it different and unique. Let’s begin with where you can actually find great and affordable furniture in Pune:
MG Road: If you are a fan of colonial architecture and décor, then this place is for you. I once saw this massive writing desk that looked like it came straight out of a British period drama. Seriously, half expected Mr. Darcy to pop out and start penning a letter.
Pisoli Market: This market screams the whole rustic vibe. It looks like straight out of a set of the Hindi movie “Lootera”. The market is filled with intricately carved wooden doors – I'm talking hand-carved masterpieces that'll make your Instagram followers drool. You can either use them as a head-board or a separator to uplift your whole décor.
Khadki Bazaar: This is where you will find everything under a budget. They even sell second-hand items at a discounted rate. The market bustles with students and people who are making Pune their temporary stay. You can find some real gems too. While strolling through the market, I once came across a vintage retro lamp that looked like it came straight from the '70s.
Juna Bazaar: This place is like a time machine. It's only open once a week, and it's absolute chaos – in the best way possible. You'll find yourself elbow-deep in brass lamps and copper knick-knacks before you know it. It's the kind of place where you go in looking for a chair and come out with a life-size statue of Lord Ganesha. It just happens.
Wakad: This market is fairly new. It’s like the new kid on the block, trying to be all cool and modern. Everything in this market seems innovative. I once saw a table in the shape of a bird.
If are into bohemian décor, this place is for you. This is Pune’s market in a nutshell for you. It’s sometimes sophisticated and sometimes really wild. The choice is yours to be what!
