Carved teak. Brass tips. Indian art print. A chair with something to say.
"Margaret started with the fabric — the idea that a traditional Indian art print could sit inside a clean, contemporary barrel frame without compromise. The curved sculpted arm rails in teak are the frame doing its part: the open structure lets you see the wood, the grain, the joinery. And the brass leg caps are a small nod to traditional fine furniture craft. Together, these things create a chair that feels genuinely Indian, not as a theme, but as an inheritance."
The Making of the Margaret Chair
Designed by Harsha
The Margaret Chair was designed to carry something meaningful — the pictorial tradition of Indian miniature art — into a piece of furniture that earns daily use. The floral and figurative print fabric is the cultural heart of the chair. The carved teak frame with sculpted arms and brass leg caps is the craftsman's response: a structure worthy of the material it holds.
Indian Art Print Fabric
Cream-ground fabric with pink, red, and multicolour floral-figurative print motifs in the Indian miniature painting tradition — a culturally specific material choice that distinguishes the Margaret from any other chair. ::
Curved Arm Rail Carving
Curved sculpted arm rails shaped from solid teak hardwood require steam-bending or precision shaping — a woodworking technique that gives the open frame its fluid, art-quality silhouette. ::
Brass-Capped Legs
Four tapered solid teak legs, each fitted with polished brass ferrule cap at the base — a traditional fine furniture detail that grounds the Margaret in craft heritage.
