A whole house on your desk.
The Mado is the most horizontal piece in the Architecture Series. Wide, low, and grounded. The front facade has an arched entrance framed by columns and a panelled door. The side runs long with a row of horizontal slit windows. The roof slopes gently to a small chimney at the ridge.
Cast in solid Jesmonite, it sits quietly wherever you place it: desk, shelf, windowsill. Heavy enough to do its job. Considered enough to earn its place.
A companion to the Kaidan. The two share the same material language but tell completely different architectural stories.
Mado (窓): Japanese for window.

The Signature of Slow Design
Every Kuro piece is made by hand, to order. You may notice small shifts in colour, tiny air bubbles in the Jesmonite, or faint marks from the mould. These are not flaws. They are proof that a person made this, not a machine.

The Eco-Friendly Alternative for Sustainable Design
Every product we create is made with Jesmonite, the world’s leading water-based, acrylic polymer composite. This material is celebrated as the eco-friendly alternative to traditional resins and concrete, making it the perfect choice for the sustainable home. Jesmonite is solvent-free and contains no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), meaning it releases no harsh chemicals or fumes, ensuring a safer process for us and a safer product for your home.
This innovative composite combines a natural gypsum mineral base with a pure, water-based liquid. The result is a durable, high-quality material that is lighter than stone, resistant to water, and incredibly versatile. In addition to being pigmentable for vibrant colours and unique terrazzo effects, Jesmonite features an incredibly fast cure time of just 25 minutes. Choose our products for a beautiful, long-lasting item that supports a greener planet.
Care & Cleaning
To maintain the refined finish of your Jesmonite product, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or light stains and always dry it completely afterward. Please avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can dull the surface and affect the material’s natural texture.
Water, Heat & Sunlight
Jesmonite is water-resistant but not waterproof, so avoid soaking or submerging the product in water. Clean spills quickly to prevent marks. Keep your piece away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight, as both can cause discoloration or surface stress over time.
Handling & Everyday Use
While durable for daily use, Jesmonite can chip or break if dropped—so handle with care. These products are not suitable for dishwashers or microwaves. Each piece is handmade, bringing unique character and slight imperfections that add to its beauty and individuality.
FAQs
Is Jesmonite eco-friendly and safe to use at home?
Yes. Jesmonite is an eco-friendly, water-based material (no harsh chemicals, safe for indoor use). It is sometimes called "eco-resin" or "modern stone." Unlike plastic decor, Jesmonite is solvent-free (no toxic liquid chemicals used in making it) and low-VOC (VOC = Volatile Organic Compounds, the harmful gases some materials release into your room). It is safe for daily use on desks and shelves.
What is Jesmonite? How is it different from plastic decor?
Jesmonite is a water-based composite material (a mix of natural stone powder and eco-friendly resin) — not plastic. It has a smooth, cool touch similar to ceramic or concrete, but is more impact-resistant (harder to break or chip) than most plastic decor. Every Kuro piece is made from Jesmonite, never plastic.
Are Kuro Design products handmade in India?
Yes. Every Kuro piece is handcrafted (made by hand, not machine) and made to order in Gurgaon, Haryana. Because each piece is poured and finished by hand, no two pieces are 100% identical — this is part of the handmade character, not a defect.
I see tiny air bubbles or holes on my Jesmonite piece. Is this a defect?
No, this is normal. These small "pin holes" are a natural part of the Jesmonite casting process. Since every Kuro piece is mixed and poured by hand, small air pockets can form during curing (the material hardening and setting). We see this as proof the piece was handmade, not machine-made.
How do I clean and care for my Jesmonite home decor piece?
Wipe your Jesmonite piece gently with a soft, damp cloth. Each piece is sealed with a water-resistant coating, but it is not fully waterproof — avoid full submersion and skip the dishwasher. Do not use harsh chemicals or scouring pads (rough scrubbing pads), as these can damage the matte finish.
Can I get a custom color for my Kuro Design piece?
Yes. As a small, handmade studio, we offer color customization at no extra cost. Message us on Instagram or email your request after placing your order, and we'll match it to your space.
Is Kuro Design's packaging eco-friendly?
Yes. Kuro Design uses plastic-free packaging — honeycomb paper and corrugated cardboard (a type of strong, ridged recyclable cardboard) — so your order arrives safely without adding to landfill waste. It also looks good enough for gifting, straight out of the box.
