Eve Sofa — Austins Eve Sofa – Austins

The floor-level elegance of the deewan, reframed.

"The Eve is my favourite kind of design problem: how do you make something traditional feel fresh without losing the reason it existed in the first place? The dark espresso frame is very much a contemporary object. But the moment you sit on it, you understand the deewan — that low, wide, grounded way of being in a room."

The Making of the Eve Sofa

Designed by Harsha

The Eve was born from a conversation between two traditions. The Indian deewan's low, wide platform and a contemporary minimal wood frame found each other in this piece — dark espresso and cream, close to the ground, simple yet sophisticated.

01

Espresso Wood & Cream Fabric

Dark espresso lacquered hardwood in a smooth semi-gloss finish, contrasted with plain cream woven fabric cushions. The tonal juxtaposition is stark and deliberate — neither material needs ornamentation. ::

02

One-Piece Frame Joinery

The all-in-one rectangular frame — arms, back structure, and legs as a single continuous unit — requires precise mortise-and-tenon joinery at every corner, maintaining perfect right angles under seating load without visible hardware. ::

03

Low Seat Engineering

Very low seating height places unique structural demands on the thick boxy legs and their join to the platform base. The frame must remain completely rigid when occupants shift weight across the wide deewan seat.

Frequently Asked

Before You Order

How long does it take to make the Eve Sofa?
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.
