The frame is the ornament. The stretcher is the signature. The Siena chair shows every joint and holds every glance — Bangalore-made mid-century confidence.
A chair that hides its frame is a chair that doesn't trust its frame. The Siena exposes every joint — the arm-to-back connection, the cross-stretcher beneath the seat, the flat wide arm rails. The dark graphite stain against the cream linen is high-contrast by design: I wanted the structural geometry to read like a drawing. The small lumbar pad is the only concession to softness in what is otherwise an exercise in the beauty of visible engineering.
The Making of the Siena Dining Chair
Designed by Harsha
In our Bangalore workshop, the Siena begins with the frame — dark graphite solid wood, jointed and finished to the same standard as the visible upholstered surface above it. The H-stretcher is fitted for structural rigidity and visual impact equally. Cream fabric pads are then made to sit flush within the wooden rails without gap or overhang — a tolerance that demands precise pad-making from our upholsterers.
The Graphite Frame
Dark graphite-stained solid wood — every member finished to the same standard as the upholstered surface, because here, the frame is on display. ::
The Pad Fitting
Cream fabric seat and back pads are made to sit flush within the wooden frame rails without gap — a precision fit that reveals skilled pad construction. ::
The H-Stretcher
The visible cross-brace beneath the seat is structural necessity presented as design detail — engineering that earns its place in the visual composition of the chair.
