Our storyThe house
One workshop behind every name.
Samar is a Karachi furniture business. Its showroom on Shaheed-e-Millat Road served the city for many years, and over time the business grew a workshop of its own: Karkhana by Samar, in Korangi.
The same kaarigars build for Karachi's architects, developers, clubs and offices, and make the in-house line. Karkhana is the door for projects, Samar & Co. is the online shop, opening soon, and Samar Furnishers is the new flagship, also on its way.

04 · The workshop
A workshop designed by architects.
Our Korangi building was designed by E-Arc for how furniture is actually made in Karachi's heat and humidity.
- 01The workshops sit on the leeward side of a three-storey internal court. Offices face the wind.
- 02The court brings in light and air, and gives timber room to season.
- 03Open halls where every kaarigar sets up his own adda (workstation).
- 04Concrete jaalis, made locally to a custom pattern, let in light and air.
- 05About 28,000 sq ft, arranged around a three-storey court.
