About Us

Have you ever saved a hundred Pinterest boards, dreaming of a home that looked just like them, only to realize that recreating those spaces would cost a fortune? We did too!

We believe that beautiful spaces shouldn't be a luxury reserved for a few. Whether you're a college student decorating your first room, a young professional moving into a rented 1BHK, or someone simply trying to make a house feel like home you deserve good design.
At the same time, we couldn't ignore another reality.
After spending years in the export industry, we discovered why India is known as one of the world's largest exporters. Yes, our craftsmanship is extraordinary. But too often, our products are sold at incredibly low prices because the people making them are paid even less. Affordable products shouldn't come at the cost of someone else's livelihood.

We knew there had to be another way.

So instead of cutting corners, we looked for smarter solutions. We questioned every step of the process, found better sourcing methods, reduced unnecessary costs, and built a model that delivers style without compromising on fairness. The result is a brand that makes Pinterest-worthy aesthetics accessible while ensuring that the artisans and makers behind every product are treated with the respect they deserve. Because we don't believe affordability and ethics should be opposites. We believe everyone deserves to live in a space they love, regardless of where they are in life.

Welcome to The Katla Company (Layam) where thoughtful design, fair craftsmanship, and accessible living come together.
