Benches, ottomans & pouffes
Bed-end benches, tufted ottomans and pouffes in the same fabric as the sofa, so the room reads as one piece rather than a collection.
Matched, not bought separately

How a piece is made
Five stages, all under one roof. Nothing is subcontracted — no third-party frame, no outsourced tailoring, no surprises in the eighth year.
- 01
Measure
We visit, or you send a plan and photographs. Dimensions, door widths, lift size, and how the room is actually used.
Day 1 - 02
Frame
Kiln-dried hardwood, mortise-and-tenon joints and corner blocks, built on jigs so every frame is the same frame.
Week 1–2 - 03
Fill
High-density foam layered by seat zone and wrapped, so the seat holds its shape instead of flattening in a year.
Week 2 - 04
Upholster
Fabric cut on grain and pattern-matched, hand-stretched, stapled and closed by a tailor who has done it for years.
Week 3 - 05
Finish
Sanded, sealed and checked against a written list — every unit, before it leaves the workshop for your door.
Week 4
Warranty
Ten years on the frame, in writing.
Frame and joinery 10 years · foam 3 years · mechanism 2 years · fabric and stitching 1 year. Every piece leaves with a warranty card that names each one.

“We measured the wall ourselves and were 200 mm out. They caught it on the drawing, changed the length, and the sofa fits the room exactly. Four months on, the seat still feels like the day it arrived.”
“We ordered the headboard a fortnight after the sofa, so the fabric would come off the same roll. It matches, even in the afternoon light. The wall fixing is invisible and the bedroom finally looks finished.”
“My parents sit on it four hours a day, so we asked for a higher seat and firmer foam. Nobody argued, and it did not cost more. The delivery team assembled it in the room and took every bit of packaging away with them.”
“Very good quality and a very neat finish. They were patient with all our questions about fabric and never pushed us to a higher price. The sofa arrived on the date they gave us at the start.”
“We had two old armchairs with good frames and tired covers. They re-covered both in a fabric we chose and they came back looking new. Much better value than buying again, and nothing went to waste.”
“Good service from start to finish. The team was on time, careful with the floor and the walls, and cleaned up after themselves. Happy to recommend them to anyone in the building.”
The name
Two grains, one sofa
Grain in wood is the figure of one particular tree. It is the thing that proves solid hardwood rather than veneer, and the reason no two pieces we make are identical.
Grain in fabric is the direction of the weave. Cut with it and a cover sits square for years; cut across it and the seams twist. Upholsterers call it cutting on grain.
We do both. That is the whole of the name.

Founder’s message
I started this workshop in 2011 with one bench, a few hand tools and a rented room on 13th Main. Fifteen years later there are still only six of us, and it is still the same bench.
We are not the cheapest sofa in Bengaluru and I will not pretend otherwise. What I can promise is simpler. The frame will be cut and joined by hand, the foam will be the density we quoted you, and whoever measures your room will be the one who signs the piece off.
If you are unsure what your room needs, come and sit with us. We will tell you honestly — even when the honest answer is that you do not need a new sofa.

ನಾನು 2011 ರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಬೆಂಚ್, ಕೆಲವು ಕೈ ಉಪಕರಣಗಳು ಮತ್ತು 13ನೇ ಮೇನ್ ರಸ್ತೆಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಬಾಡಿಗೆ ಕೋಣೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಈ ಕಾರ್ಯಾಗಾರವನ್ನು ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಿಸಿದೆ. ಹದಿನೈದು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ನಂತರವೂ ನಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿ ಕೇವಲ ಆರು ಜನರಿದ್ದೇವೆ, ಮತ್ತು ಅದೇ ಹಳೆಯ ಬೆಂಚ್ ಈಗಲೂ ಇದೆ.
ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಾವು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಅಗ್ಗದ ಸೋಫಾ ತಯಾರಿಸುವವರಲ್ಲ ಮತ್ತು ನಾನು ಬೇರೆ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಟಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ನಾನು ನೀಡಬಲ್ಲ ಭರವಸೆ ಸರಳವಾಗಿದೆ: ಚೌಕಟ್ಟನ್ನು ಕೈಯಿಂದ ಕತ್ತರಿಸಿ ಜೋಡಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ, ಫೋಮ್ ನಾವು ನಿಮಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದ ಸಾಂದ್ರತೆಯದ್ದೇ ಆಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ, ಮತ್ತು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕೋಣೆಯನ್ನು ಅಳೆಯುವವರೇ ಅಂತಿಮ ಒಪ್ಪಿಗೆ ನೀಡುವವರಾಗಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ.
ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕೋಣೆಗೆ ಏನು ಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ನಿಮಗೆ ಖಚಿತವಿಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ, ಬಂದು ನಮ್ಮೊಂದಿಗೆ ಕುಳಿತುಕೊಳ್ಳಿ. ನಾವು ನಿಮಗೆ ಪ್ರಾಮಾಣಿಕವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳುತ್ತೇವೆ — ನಿಮಗೆ ಹೊಸ ಸೋಫಾ ಬೇಕಾಗಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದೇ ಆದರೂ ಸಹ.
