Seating that survives a Saturday night.

Hotels, cafés, restaurants, offices, builders and interior designers. The same workshop that builds a homeowner's sofa builds banquettes, booth seating and lobby pieces — specified for contract use, with the documentation a vendor audit asks for.

Who we serve

Six kinds of buyer, each with a different question. We answer the question, not the brochure.

Formal three-piece set in a hotel lounge

Hotels & homestays

Lobby sofas, bedroom seating, headboards and bed-end benches. Fire-retardant foam, contract fabric, and a specification sheet per room type.

Café booth seating and tables

Cafés & restaurants

Booths, banquettes and bench seating drawn to the floor plan, in wipeable contract fabric that does not show a year of coffee.

Reception seating, soft seating for breakouts, and acoustic bench units. Repeatable, on a delivery schedule that fits your fit-out.

What changes

What is different about contract work

A home sofa is sat on for two hours a night. A café bench is sat on forty times a day and cleaned with a wet cloth. The build has to change.

  • Contract-grade fabric with a published rub count, not a decorative weave
  • Fire-retardant foam and interlinings, with documentation
  • Higher-density seat foam and a heavier suspension standard
  • Frames built to be re-covered on site, not replaced
  • Stain-resistant finishes and wipeable surfaces where specified

Two projects, and what they asked for

One hospitality, one F&B. Both started as a floor plan and a date.

Case study 01 · F&B

Booth seating for a Bengaluru café

A 42-cover café needed curved booth seating that followed the room's existing pillars. Eleven booth units and four benches, in a wipeable contract weave on a firmer foam build.

Delivered in two stages while the kitchen fit-out ran, so the site was never blocked. The curve was built on a template, which means the twelfth unit can be added later without a new jig.

Fabric: contract weave, 50,000+ rubs · Foam: 40 density · Lead time: 7 weeks

Case study 02 · Residential project

Lobby and clubhouse seating, 18 units

A builder's clubhouse needed eighteen pieces across three zones — lobby sofas, a reading corner and a children's area — all in the same palette, all delivered before handover.

One fabric family across all three zones, three different foam builds, and a single installation window. The specification sheet was handed to the facility team with the warranty letter.

Fabric: chenille, 40,000 rubs · Foam: 36 and 40 density · Lead time: 9 weeks, staged
