Smeraldo Chair — Austins Smeraldo Chair - Austins

Two textures. One chair. Every room needs a Blossom.

"I wanted the Blossom to feel like a reward at the end of a long day. The quilted back panel demanded the most precise needlework — each diamond hand-stitched to align with the seam that frames it. The low seating wasn't a compromise; it was the whole point."

The Making of the Smeraldo Chair

Designed by Harsha

The Blossom began with a single idea: a chair that commands a room without raising its voice. Its sage-green leather and quilted back carry an old-world patience; the low seat is a deliberate invitation to slow down.

01

Two-Texture Leather

Smooth leather covers the seat and upper back; diamond-quilted leather with fine needlework defines the lower panel — two working techniques on one continuous surface, demanding split-hand precision. ::

02

Diamond Needlework

The quilted back panel is hand-stitched in a consistent diamond grid across a curved surface — each point must land true or the pattern skews. A mark of a skilled craftsperson's patience. ::

03

Low-Seat Engineering

The wingback's tall profile and low seat place unique structural demands on the short walnut legs and the wing-to-back bracing. Every joint is engineered to hold the drama in place.

Frequently Asked

Before You Order

How long does it take to make the Smeraldo Chair?
6–8 weeks from order confirmation. We build one piece at a time — frame first, then upholstery, then a final hand-finish — so the timeline reflects real bench-time, not warehouse stock.
Can I customise the dimensions, leather, or wood?
Yes. Almost every dimension can be adjusted within structural limits, and the leather and wood swatches shown are starting points — speak to a designer if you'd like us to source something specific.
How does delivery work, and where do you ship?
We deliver across India with white-glove placement included. International shipping is available on request — our team will coordinate freight, customs, and last-mile placement at the destination.
What does payment look like for a custom piece?
A 50% deposit confirms the order and reserves your build slot in the atelier. The balance is due before dispatch. We'll share a transparent quote with material and labour breakdown after the consultation.
What if something needs repair years from now?
Every piece carries a lifetime craftsmanship guarantee. Reupholstery, refinishing, and frame repair are handled in-house — a piece built today can be brought back to the workshop a decade from now and restored.
