Our process

How a custom sofa is made, from first sketch to delivery.

Every piece follows the same path: your room, a drawing, materials you choose by hand, a render, and then our own factory floor.

A sofa, start to finish

One curved sofa, from idea to factory floor.

Every sofa we make follows the same path. Here it is on a single piece: a sculpted curve in burgundy velvet with brass accents, shown both as the design and as the finished sofa on our factory floor in Hyderabad.

The design: a long curve with a rolled arm on one side and a rounded arm on the other.

A statement, not a stock sofa

This sofa is meant to be the piece a room is built around: a sculptural curve, soft rounded arms and a long, low seat. A sofa like this cannot be picked off a showroom floor, because the curve has to answer to the wall it stands against.

So the process starts with your room. We look at your photographs, the wall you want to fill and how the room is walked through, then ask who sits there and how.

Curves worked out in front of you

The designer draws while you watch, and you argue with it while it is still cheap to change: span, seat depth, arm profile and base height. On a curve the outline matters as much as the seat.

On this sofa that meant a rolled arm on one side, a rounded arm on the other, and a small brass tray at the arm.

Velvet and brass, chosen by hand

Fabrics and finishes are chosen from physical samples in our material library, because colour on a screen is a guess. This sofa is covered in burgundy velvet, with brass for the tray and the base.

The brass base lifts the curve just clear of the floor and gives the dark velvet a thin line of light.

Seen in a room before it exists

Before anything is cut, your sofa is shown in a room, in the materials you chose, and you take that render away with you. Here the curve sits low against a dark wall, with a round table in front of it.

This is the moment to change your mind about the colour, the arm or the length.

Then it is built, on our own floor

After you approve the drawing and the render, the sofa moves to our factory floor. Frames are built and dry-assembled before anything is upholstered, and fabric is stretched and stapled by hand over the frame.

Here is this sofa where it was made: the same curve, the same brass trays at the arms and the same brass base as in the design. Typical delivery is 21–30 days from the approved drawing. We confirm the exact date in writing with your order.

The design session

The design centre in Gachibowli is where every job starts. It is a room with a drawing table, a material library you can put your hands into, and a screen where your piece appears in your room before we build it.

Your room, first

We start with your photographs, not our portfolio. The designer looks at the wall you want to fill, where the light falls, what the piece has to sit beside, and how the room is actually walked through. Rough dimensions are enough to begin.

The brief, out loud

How many people sit on it in the evening. Whether anyone sleeps on it. Whether children and dogs use it. What you disliked about the last one. Constraints make better furniture than preferences do.

Drawing, in front of you

The designer draws while you watch, and you argue with it while it is still cheap to change. Span, seat depth, arm profile, base height, the configuration of the corner. This is the part that cannot be done over WhatsApp.

Materials, in your hands

Fabrics, leathers, timbers and finishes are here as physical samples in the library. You will feel the weave, bend the leather, and see the timber in daylight. Colour on a screen is a guess; colour in your hand is a decision.

The render

Your piece is rendered in 3D, in the materials you chose, so you can see it before it exists. You take the render away with you, and to WhatsApp too if you would like it there. The 3D render is included in your one-hour design session at no charge.

What to bring

Photographs of the room from two or three positions, including the wall the piece will sit against. A floor plan if you have one. Rough dimensions. Any reference images you have saved.

After the design session

Into production, and out the door

The drawing and the render are only the start. What happens next has been the same since we opened our own factory in 2000.

Into production

Once you approve the drawing and the render, the piece moves to our own factory floor. Framing, upholstery and finishing happen in sequence, by hand. Typical delivery is 21–30 days from the approved drawing. We confirm the exact date in writing with your order.

Delivered and set up

We deliver and place the piece ourselves in Hyderabad. Outside the city, delivery terms are confirmed in writing with your order. If anything needs adjusting on site, we sort it before we leave. 3-year warranty on frame, springs, foam and upholstery against manufacturing defects, confirmed in writing with your order. Normal wear, misuse and sun fading are not covered.

If you are an architect or designer

The same factory builds to your drawings, with shop drawings returned for sign-off before we cut. See what we offer the trade.

How the sofa itself is built

After you approve the drawing and the render, your sofa moves to our own factory floor. Frames are built and dry-assembled before anything is upholstered, fabric and leather are stretched and stapled by hand, and timber is finished last.

Questions

Questions about how a custom sofa is made

How is a custom sofa made?

It starts with a one-hour design session at our Gachibowli studio, where the sofa is drawn to your room, you choose the materials from samples and you leave with a 3D render. The sofa is then built on our own factory floor: the frame is built and dry-assembled, fabric or leather is stretched and stapled by hand, and timber is finished last. We deliver and place it ourselves in Hyderabad.

How long does a custom sofa take?

Typical delivery is 21–30 days from the approved drawing. We give you a firm delivery date in writing before you commit.

What should I bring to the design session?

Photographs of the room from two or three positions, including the wall the sofa will sit against, a floor plan if you have one, rough dimensions and any reference images you have saved.

Can I start on WhatsApp?

Yes. Send photographs and rough dimensions on WhatsApp and we will talk it through. The drawing itself is done with you in the studio, because that is the part that cannot be done over WhatsApp.

Is there a charge for the design session?

The design session carries no obligation and no deposit.

Do you deliver and set up the sofa?

Yes. We deliver and place the piece ourselves in Hyderabad, and if anything needs adjusting on site we sort it before we leave. Outside the city, delivery terms are confirmed in writing with your order.
