Velluto Swivel Chair — Austins Velluto Swivel Chair - Austins

The surface that rewards touch. Terracotta boucle on a 360° swivel — warmth you can turn into any light in the room.

Boucle has a quality that photographs can't fully capture — the way the looped yarn shifts colour as you move around it, the slight give when you press your palm to the surface. On the barrel form, the stretch at the curved back requires hand-fitting at every seam. I wanted the contrast of that warm, organic texture against the precision of the matte-black swivel base — soft and mechanical in perfect tension.

The Making of the Velluto Swivel Chair

Designed by Harsha

Wrapping a curved barrel shell in boucle is not a machine task — the looped yarn must be hand-stretched at the curved back without distorting the pile. In our Bangalore atelier, this chair begins on a moulded shell jig, our upholsterers working the boucle panel by panel until every surface is crease-free and every edge holds its soft halo.

01

The Boucle Pile

Looped terracotta yarn creates a cloud-like surface that shifts shade as light moves — a fabric that rewards both the eye and the touch. ::

02

The Curved Wrap

Hand-stretching boucle over a barrel shell without distorting the pile requires measured tension at every curved seam. ::

03

The Swivel Base

A four-star matte-black metal base delivers smooth 360° rotation beneath the upholstered shell — precision below, softness above.

Frequently Asked

Before You Order

How long does it take to make the Velluto Swivel 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.
