The Retro Collection popular in the 1950s and 1960s, this furniture style continues to boom in recognition. Retro Collection continues to make memories from another time with modish teak that is turned and twirled giving a Mid Century Modern in Mumbai.
The Nara Collection is inspired by the Japanese living; the silent line of furniture from Freedom Tree quietly applauds artisanal craftsmanship and simple materials. Fine-grained woods are gently contoured, into embracing curves, slim spindles, and flared organic shapes.
The Cabana Collection features light and airy furniture where flexibility is the leitmotif. When the nomad in you thinks of settling down, the home should have the vibe of the outdoors and the comfort of the indoor. Freedom Tree, the name itself embodies this free-living collection designed for that first homemaker.
A bouquet of diverse yet complimenting, harmoniously merging array of textiles and colors encourages shoppers to start experimenting with patterns, textures and color.

To dress this furniture, the fabric of the home brand is the print and patterned textiles. The Waymore collection depicts walking along the maze of quaint and antiquated cobblestoned streets. There is something magical about cobblestoned streets - it transports us back in time to a historical, less complicated and more romantic time. This uneven charm of cobblestones is the inspiration of their collection Waymore.
Cities are concrete jungles and it’s the pockets of nature that make us feel alive and happy! A walk in the park, a meeting with friends makes us cheerful and uplifts our mood. Their newest collection – Days without End is centred on this narrative and how basking in nature brings out the bright and breezy.
Freedom Tree’s ethno chic – urban geometrics are geometric patterns and prints create intriguing spaces. They accentuate all living spaces adding a contemporary touch to interiors.
