Leather Corner Sofa in Carved Teak - Champagne with Rosewood Frame

Leather is sold by the hide, and a sofa this size needs several - which is where the real work begins. Hides vary in thickness, in grain and in colour from one animal to the next, and even across a single skin: the back is denser than the belly, the neck carries more marking than the flank. An upholsterer who cuts a large sofa without accounting for that produces a piece where one seat cushion is visibly different from the one beside it.

So the hides are laid out together and read before anything is cut. The most uniform sections go where the eye rests longest - the seat cushions and the centre back. The flanks go to the outside arms and the underside of the chaise, where variation does not read.

Our master Indian artisans do that selection by daylight rather than under workshop lamps, because artificial light flattens exactly the differences they are looking for. It adds a day to the job and it is the difference between a leather sofa that looks made and one that looks assembled.

Material: Solid teak frame throughout, including back, arms, chaise, apron and legs.

Back: Vertically fluted leather at the centre, narrow diamond buttoning to either side, carved medallion above the centre holding a small padded panel.

Frame finish: Deep rosewood tone as shown, reading as a dark line around pale leather; also available in walnut, espresso, gold, silver or champagne.

Arm: Outward-scrolling arm at the closed end with a carved centre rosette.

Chaise: Rounded in plan, leather taken over the curve in a single piece.

Cushions: Loose bolsters at both ends of the back for upright or reclined use.

Upholstery: Shown in champagne leather; full-grain, top-grain and high-grade faux leather available, with samples sent for comparison.

Configuration: Chaise built on the left or right hand as your room requires.

Sizes: Custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

Leather creases permanently if it is folded or pressed in transit, so every upholstered surface is packed with rigid support standing clear of the hide, and each section is bagged in a breathable cover so the leather can release moisture rather than sweat against a sealed wrap.

The carved medallion above the centre back stands proud of the frame and is given a shaped foam shell.

The rounded chaise, where the leather is taken over a curve in one piece, is supported along its whole profile - a flattened curve would show in the hide permanently.

The dark polished frame scuffs visibly, so it is covered first in a soft non-abrasive layer. Bolster cushions travel separately. Fittings go into a labelled pouch.

The sofa travels in sections labelled in assembly order and crated together with handling instructions. Every photograph here shows the actual sofa before packing - not a render.

Delivery is free anywhere in India and included in the price you are quoted, with no freight, packing or handling charge added later.

Production begins once your dimensions, chaise hand, leather and finish are confirmed in writing. We send leather samples for approval first, then give you a realistic timeline and photographs of your own sofa as the frame is carved and the hides cut and fitted.

On arrival the sections are carried in and assembled in your room, the frame levelled, the leather checked over and conditioned, and the bolsters placed. Tell us your lift dimensions, staircase turns and doorway widths when you order and we size the sections to your access. We guarantee dent-free arrival, and if anything is not right, tell us and we will make it right.

The solid teak frame and joinery are covered for 20 years - the back frame, the arm, the chaise, the apron, the legs and every joint between them.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs with it for as long as you own the sofa, backed by teak's own resistance and confirmed in writing.

Leather is the longest-lived upholstery we work with and it is also the least forgiving to replace badly, because the cut pattern and the hide selection matter as much as the sewing. We keep the specification of your exact sofa on file - panel patterns, flute widths, buttoning positions and the chaise hand - so any later re-cover follows what is already there rather than being set out afresh. The frame finish can be cleaned back and re-polished. Our own master Indian artisans do the work and explain what it involves before starting.
