Deep Chesterfield tufting. Nailhead trim. Slim chrome legs. The Manila Chester — spacious, majestic, and genuinely hard to leave.
Chesterfield tufting is one of the most demanding upholstery techniques — each diamond must be individually set and pulled to exactly the same depth, and the grid must hold its geometry across a curved arm surface without drifting. The chrome legs were chosen as a deliberate counterpoint to all that classical craft. They keep the piece honest about when it was made.
The Making of the Manila Chester Sofa
Designed by Harsha
The Manila Chester takes the most characterful of sofa forms and scales it up to proper 3-seater generosity. The tufting runs across back and arms without interruption; the nailhead trim finishes every edge with quiet authority. Chrome legs ground the whole in the contemporary. Spacious enough for the whole family, and built to last well beyond them.
Cognac Leather-Look at Tufting Depth
Warm cognac leather-look enhances every diamond of the deep Chesterfield tufting — the warm mid-brown tone reads in the recesses of each biscuit, creating a rich three-dimensional surface that changes under different light. ::
Button by Button
Every button is individually placed and anchored by hand through the full upholstery depth; consistent grid marking and careful foam selection maintain uniform tufting depth across all diamonds on back and arms. Nailhead trim is applied individually at each position. ::
Chrome Legs Under Chesterfield Weight
Four slim chrome legs carry the full load of a deep 3-seater Chesterfield sofa — precision leg-to-frame joinery at each mount ensures no flex or instability under regular, generous use.
