Opus Ottoman — Austins Opus Ottoman – Austins

Channel-fluted velvet. Curved gold legs. Room made.

"The Opus was about getting the proportions right first — a bench that floats rather than sits. The channel fluting adds depth without fuss, and the curved gold legs lift the whole piece so it never feels heavy. It should make your room look brand new every time you walk in."

The Making of the Opus Ottoman

Designed by Harsha

The Opus Ottoman was designed to complement rather than compete — grey velvet in a long bench form, deeply channel-fluted and held aloft by curved gold metal legs. It fits anywhere, and it improves every room it enters. Made in Bangalore.

01

Grey Velvet, Gold Legs

Premium grey velvet covers the full bench form — its soft, dense pile catches light differently from every angle and pairs naturally with the polished gold of the curved metal legs. ::

02

Full-Length Channel Fluting

Precisely executed channel stitching runs the full length of the seat, creating deep, uniform horizontal ridges — maintaining even spacing and depth across the entire surface requires skilled upholstery work. ::

03

Curved Gold Metal Legs

The curved gold metal legs are a single bent and welded form — structural simplicity turned into a decorative statement that keeps the ottoman visually light on its feet.

Frequently Asked

Before You Order

How long does it take to make the Opus 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.
