The Manjari Set is a poetic celebration of Kerala’s royal heritage and the artistry of its master craftsmen. This ensemble—comprising a grand three-seater settee and two matching armchairs—evokes the elegance of a bygone era, where verandahs echoed with laughter, and every gathering was a festival of warmth and connection. Each piece in the Manjari Set is crafted from seasoned hardwood, finished in a soft, natural tone that highlights the gentle curves and intricate details of the design. The backrests are crowned with hand-carved crests, their flowing lines and floral medallions reminiscent of temple architecture and the lush gardens of Kerala’s palaces. The arms sweep outward in a graceful arc, inviting you to recline in comfort, while the seats and backs are woven from natural cane, offering coolness and support even on the warmest days. The side panels of the armchairs feature a unique geometric cane weave, adding texture and visual interest, while the sturdy legs and stretchers ensure stability and longevity. Whether placed in a sunlit verandah, a stately drawing room, or a boutique heritage hotel, the Manjari Set transforms any space into a sanctuary of elegance, comfort, and cultural pride. This is not just furniture—it is a living heirloom, designed for those who cherish the beauty of tradition and the joy of togetherness.
Each component reflects a story of devotion, culture, and skilled hands
The backrest of each piece is crowned with a hand-carved crest, its flowing lines and floral medallions inspired by the blossoms of Kerala’s gardens and the ornate gables of traditional mansions. This crest is both a visual centerpiece and a symbol of welcome, inviting you to lean back and enjoy the embrace of heritage.
The arms of the Manjari Set are a sculptural delight, their sweeping curves inspired by the gentle waves (“taranga”) of Kerala’s rivers and the graceful movements of classical dance. These arms are designed for both comfort and beauty, providing a perfect place to rest your hands and adding a sense of movement to the ensemble.
The seats and backrests are woven from natural cane using traditional techniques passed down through generations. “Jeeva” means life, reflecting the living energy and comfort these panels bring to your home. The tight, airy weave ensures coolness and support, making the set ideal for Kerala’s tropical climate.
The side panels of the armchairs feature a unique geometric cane weave, adding texture, strength, and a touch of artistry. “Chitra” means picture or art, and these panels are a subtle canvas for the artisan’s skill, ensuring that every angle of the set is a feast for the eyes.
The legs of the Manjari Set are gently curved and finished with subtle carvings, their form inspired by the lotus (“padma”), a symbol of purity and renewal in Indian culture. These legs provide both stability and a touch of sculptural elegance, grounding the set in tradition and beauty.
The stretchers connecting the legs add structural integrity and visual balance, ensuring that each piece remains strong and steady through years of use. Their clean lines and careful joinery are a quiet reminder of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that define Kerala’s furniture tradition.
From sleek, modern designs that exude contemporary elegance to timeless classics that evoke warmth and nostalgia, our curated selection has something for every taste and lifestyle. Each piece is crafted with precision and care, ensuring both quality and durability.
