Loomcraft Enters South India with Kerala Store

26 Mar 2026 CW Team

Kerala’s landscape—home to luxury resorts, boutique hotels, wellness retreats and premium residential communities—has created rising demand for high-quality outdoor furniture. However, much of South India has remained underserved in this category, with buyers often relying on imports or generic products that are not suited to the region’s humid climate, saline air and heavy monsoons.

The new Loomcraft store aims to address this gap by offering climate-engineered outdoor furniture designed for durability and low maintenance. The outlet features over 800 design options, catering to a broad customer base including hospitality developers, architects and premium homeowners, while supporting projects across varying scales and budgets.

Beyond retail, the Kerala store will function as a regional hub for consultation, customisation, logistics and after-sales services. This strategic positioning is expected to enhance responsiveness to project timelines and facilitate expansion into neighbouring southern markets.

Rahul Jindal, Director, Loomcraft, said, “Launching our Kerala store is not just a retail expansion—it is a strategic investment in South India. Kerala gives us visibility, strong hospitality linkages, and a design-aware audience, making it the ideal gateway for our southern growth.”

South India is expected to play a crucial role in the company’s future growth, driven by increasing tourism activity, rising demand for premium housing and a shift towards lifestyle-oriented outdoor spaces. The brand is also focusing on expanding beyond metros into Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities to strengthen accessibility and market reach.

With this launch, Loomcraft enhances its national footprint while reinforcing its focus on design innovation, product durability and regional relevance.
