The Team
Karan Bakshi, Co-Founder
Karan Bakshi discovered his love for woodworking early on, tinkering on furniture with his father as a kid. After completing his Masters in Engineering, he followed his heart and set up a workshop, learning woodworking techniques. Over a decade of designing and developing products, from upcycling, industrial, eclectic, he found his niche in contemporary design. It is his aesthetic of simplicity and clean lines that defines the design at Lap and Dado. Karan can almost always be found in our workshop, working with our carpenters on a new design or admiring the grains on a new batch of wood.
