Vachi Chair — Austins Vachi Chair - Austins

Full diamond tufting. Scrolled arms. Ball-and-claw feet. The Vachi commands its room.

There is a category of chair that does not ask permission to be the most important thing in the room. The Vachi belongs to that category. The tufting is deep and consistent all the way into the arched crown; the nailhead trim is continuous, not decorative. This chair is built with the conviction that some furniture should be unashamedly grand.

The Making of the Vachi Chair

Designed by Harsha

Drawing from English Chesterfield and Victorian wingback traditions, the Vachi scales up every characteristic element — the tufting deeper, the arms more dramatically scrolled, the legs more ornately carved — to create a chair that functions as both seating and room statement.

01

Crimson Leather on Complex Curves

Deep crimson leather stretched and formed across scrolled arms, tufted back, and wing extensions without stress marks at any transition — demanding precision leather work on a form that bends in every direction. ::

02

Diamond Tufting at Scale

Each button is individually hand-set through the full back depth, maintaining the diamond grid alignment across the arched crown and into the wings — a high-skill, time-intensive upholstery technique. ::

03

The Scrolled Arm Structure

A shaped solid wood inner frame creates the dramatic arm scroll that rolls forward and inward — complex internal geometry that no simple bending can achieve.

Frequently Asked

Before You Order

How long does it take to make the Vachi 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.
