Sofas

The frame is the thing you are paying for. Ours are teak and sheesham, joined and pinned, which is why a sofa like this outlives 3 sets of upholstery instead of going to the kabadiwala when the fabric gives up.

That matters more here than it does in a showroom photo, because in most houses the sofa takes a daily beating. It is the guest seat, the afternoon nap, the place the kids land after school and by Sunday somebody is sitting on the arm.

Foam flattens under that, so we use a firmer density and you can feel the difference when you sit down, it does not swallow you. Sets run 3 plus 1 plus 1 in the usual way, though the 2 seater suits a smaller drawing room better and leaves you floor space you will be glad of.

Diwans are in this section too, useful when the same room has to sleep somebody. On fabric, pick the darker weave if you have young children or an open window facing the road, since Indian dust settles into a light cotton and no amount of vacuuming brings it back. When the cover eventually goes, bring it to us and we will recover it on the same frame.
