AYIKA SOFA FACTORY VISIT – DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR DESIGN

An educational tour was arranged for 2^nd year B.Sc. students to Ayika Sofa Factory. The students were introduced to the various materials like types of plywoods, foams, elastics and springs and techniques used in manufacturing sofas of different price range. Ayika Sofa Factory has 5 factories that are separated depending on the price range and quality of techniques and materials used to manufacture them. The students visited two of the five factories. One ranging from Rs. 20,000/- to Rs. 25,000/- and other factories which manufacture only sofas above Rs. 40,000/-

Mr. Naman explained the difference between their different price range, about the material specialities (Recycled MDF board made of cow-dung & sugarcane fibre) and their signature sofa legs manufactured in Channapatna. The factory visit was very informative for students and they expressed great enthusiasm and interest for the same.
