Mahogany Masterpieces, Sri Lanka’s leading manufacturer of handcrafted luxury furniture, is proudly celebrating its 50th anniversary, showcasing its dedication to design and innovation.
To commemorate this significant milestone, the company has introduced a new furniture collection that sets industry trends while aligning with contemporary design aesthetics. Additionally, Mahogany Masterpieces has launched an exclusive line of artisanal giftware, featuring branded watch boxes, jewelry boxes, trays, and coasters, further enhancing its offerings for valued customers.
Reflecting on the company’s 50-year journey, Managing Director Kishan Gooneratne shared, “Mahogany Masterpieces was established in 1974 by my father and his brothers under the name Craft Supplies. Although my father initially lacked formal training in the industry, his passion for timber led to our first major success with an order for barrel-shaped wooden buttons for another iconic Sri Lankan brand Barefoot. This achievement prompted Craft Supplies to expand into handicrafts and wooden products, including wall plaques, tea barrels, and curtain rods. In the early 1980s, a Scottish furniture expert approached my father to create period furniture reproductions for the European market. This expert trained our carpenters in fine furniture craftsmanship, emphasizing meticulous attention to detail and traditional yet sophisticated techniques that remain integral to our work today. Transitioning from handicrafts to the furniture industry was a transformative milestone, as learning from an international expert helped establish the high standards we uphold.”
In 2005, Craft Supplies rebranded as Mahogany Masterpieces to better reflect its commitment to fine furniture. By 2010, the company introduced Furniture Spa, a furniture aftercare service that made it the only provider of a comprehensive end-to-end furniture solution. In 2022, Mahogany Masterpieces expanded into total interior solutions, achieving consistent growth and success in both local and international markets. Their interior design services encompass conceptualization, fabrication, project management, delivery, and installation for a variety of spaces, including condos, penthouses, homes, villas, corporate offices, home offices, hotels, and resorts.
Gooneratne emphasized, “Throughout the years, we have refined traditional craftsmanship techniques to create a unique process that distinguishes us in the industry. Our commitment to excellence ensures that our design services and product quality are unmatched. Unlike many companies that replicate existing designs, each piece we produce is crafted to be distinctive and unmistakably a Mahogany Masterpiece.”
Mahogany Masterpieces’ authentic Sri Lankan products are crafted to meet the highest international standards using quality, durable materials. The company has built a strong reputation over the years and is now the preferred choice for discerning residential design solutions. It exports its high-quality furniture to over 16 countries, serving an elite global clientele. Their turnkey services enable international customers to place orders effortlessly, with the company managing everything from documentation to packing, transport, and shipping.
