About NixWoods

NixWoods makes handcrafted wooden lights in its own workshop in Khatauli, Uttar Pradesh. Every floor lamp, table lamp, pendant and wall light is cut, shaped, sanded and finished by hand from solid teak, sheesham (Indian rosewood) or pine, with no MDF and no veneer, and most carry a built-in warm white LED. We sell direct to homes across India, with free shipping on prepaid orders.

Who we are

NixWoods is a homegrown Indian lighting brand. We started from a simple observation: switch on the right light in a room and it stops feeling like a showroom and starts feeling like a home. Most lighting sold in India is cheap metal, plastic, or engineered board printed to look like wood. We make the alternative, in solid wood, at prices real homeowners can buy.

How a NixWoods light is made

Our wood starts as logs, which are milled into planks. In the workshop each piece is then cut, routed, joined, sanded and finished by hand, wired, and switched on for testing on the bench. Because it is solid wood, no two pieces are identical: grain, colour and small knots vary from one light to the next, and slight grain movement over the seasons is normal, not a defect. Each piece is protected with a sealed matte or oil finish.

The woods we use

We work in three solid woods. Teak is golden-brown and naturally oily, the most moisture-resistant of the three. Sheesham, also called Indian rosewood, is harder and darker with a bold grain. Pine is pale and light with visible knots. Our comparison of rosewood, teak and mango wood explains how they differ, and the care guide covers how to keep the finish looking right.
