Cassia Chair — Austins Cassia Chair – Austins

Sit in it once. You will not want to get up.

"The Cassia started with the question of what happens when a chair stops trying to look restrained. The round seat is intentionally oversized — almost too much — and the low profile brings it close to the floor where the proportions feel right. The fabric had to be something you want to reach out and touch."

The Making of the Cassia Chair

Designed by Harsha

The Cassia is for the corner of a bedroom, a reading nook, or anywhere a room needs a moment of softness. Its round, low form and plush fabric are an honest offering: sit here, stay a while.

01

Soft Chenille Fabric

A chenille or velvet-like fabric with a lived-in pile and subtle tonal shift — not pristine, but genuinely inviting. The kind of surface you want to run your hand across before you sit. ::

02

Upholstering the Round

The continuous transition from round seat through the back curve demands skilled pattern-making. Eliminating bunching over compound curves without visible seaming is a precision craft challenge. ::

03

Hidden Base

The wide overhanging seat pan is supported by a hidden internal base — engineered to carry load evenly without visible support, maintaining the illusion of a chair that simply rests on air.

Frequently Asked

Before You Order

How long does it take to make the Cassia 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.
