Lock Ottoman — Austins Lock Ottoman - Austins

Teal velvet. Two textures. Hidden storage. A must-have.

"The Lock is about making the practical feel indulgent. You need storage — but it doesn't need to look like storage. The teal velvet with gold legs already announces something special. Then you have the quilted tufted lid for the seat surface and the channel fluting running along the body sides — two completely different upholstery languages on one piece. That's the Lock."

The Making of the Lock Ottoman

Designed by Harsha

The Lock Ottoman began with an honest design brief: make a storage bench that earns its place in a beautiful room. The answer was teal velvet in two textures — quilted tufting on the padded lid, precise channel fluting on the sides. Gold metal legs lift it from floor-level utility into something genuinely worth sitting on and looking at.

01

Teal Velvet

Deep jewel-toned teal velvet throughout — a rich, saturated colour that makes the Lock a room focal point while the fabric's pile adds physical warmth and visual depth. ::

02

Tufting and Channel Stitch

Two skilled upholstery techniques in deliberate contrast: quilted button tufting on the lid and precise parallel channel stitching on the body — each requiring clean, even handwork. ::

03

Storage Box Frame

A structurally rigid box frame supports seated weight and a functional storage cavity — the hinged lid mechanism allows easy access while maintaining the padded seat surface above.

Frequently Asked

Before You Order

How long does it take to make the Lock Ottoman?
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.
