Tazio Dining Chair — Austins Tazio Dining Chair - Austins

The dining chair reconsidered — where a continuous leather curve, a brass base ring, and four slender legs create something that elevates every meal.

The brass ring at the base of the shell is not a structural afterthought — it is the piece's defining detail. It does two things simultaneously: it connects the four legs laterally for rigidity, and it creates a horizontal gold band at the base of the upholstered body that makes the chair look like it has been placed in a setting, like a gem. The wraparound arms were designed to be low enough for comfortable dining while still providing that enveloping quality that makes a chair feel generous. The taupe upholstery was chosen for its complete versatility — it belongs at any dining table.

The Making of the Tazio Dining Chair

Designed by Harsha

Wrapping a continuous barrel shell in smooth leather without visible stress wrinkles or seam misalignment at the curved arm-to-back transitions is a technically demanding exercise in our Bangalore atelier. This chair has been refined over multiple prototypes to achieve the clean, taut surface that the taupe leather demands.

01

The Wraparound Curve

Back and arms are upholstered as a single continuous barrel shell — no junction, no break, no seam visible from the front; the sitter is enveloped from shoulder to elbow.

02

The Brass Ring

A polished brass rail runs around the base of the upholstered shell, tying all four legs to the body and creating a continuous gold band that is both structural and jewellery-like.

03

Slender Brass

Four tapered polished brass legs hold the shell with deliberate delicacy — thin against the generous upholstered form above.

Frequently Asked

Before You Order

How long does it take to make the Tazio Dining Chair?
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.
