The Padma Vilāsa Armchair is a seat where tradition and elegance converge. Inspired by the timeless lotus, the armchair evokes purity, calm, and spiritual elevation, while its carved flourishes and graceful form reflect vilāsa — leisure imbued with refinement. Rooted in Indian symbolism yet speaking in a universal design language, this chair transforms any veranda, study, or living space into a sanctuary of poise. Its broad arms and enveloping backrest welcome the sitter into a realm of comfort, while intricate carvings and fine finishes whisper the artistry of Indian craftsmanship. To sit in the Padma Vilāsa Armchair is to rest not only the body but also the spirit — a moment of stillness, dignity, and cultural connection. Crafted in premium teakwood and polished to a warm glow, the Padma Vilāsa Armchair features a high, lotus-inspired medallion backrest with hand-carved details. The arms curve gently outward, echoing the open petals of a lotus, while the plush upholstered seat ensures modern comfort. The finish combines Indian natural oil polish with subtle European colonial lines, bridging East and West in design. Brass inlays highlight the chair’s edges, adding quiet radiance. Every curve and joint demonstrates precision, merging comfort with timeless artistry. This armchair is not merely furniture but a living heirloom — a balance of purity (Padma) and charm (Vilāsa), built for those who value culture in their everyday spaces.
Each component reflects a story of devotion, culture, and skilled hands
The lotus medallion rises like a crown behind the sitter, symbolizing spiritual ascent and dignity. Just as the lotus blooms unstained from the mud, the chair’s design evokes inner purity rising above worldly struggles. It becomes a throne of awakening, holding the sitter in a posture of grace.
Flowing outward in gentle arcs, the armrests resemble lotus petals unfurling in welcome. They embody the spirit of hospitality — open, warm, and sheltering. Each curve is an invitation to rest in serenity, echoing the ancient Indian tradition of offering a seat to honored guests.
The seat is wide and soft, offering comfort without excess, dignity without pretension. It becomes a vilāsa-āsana — a seat of cultivated leisure, where stillness transforms into refinement. Here, the everyday act of sitting is elevated into a ritual of repose and presence.
The legs stand as steadfast stambhas (pillars), grounding the chair like temple mandapas. They hold the weight of body and spirit alike, symbolizing samatva (equilibrium). Through their silent strength, they teach the art of balance — between earth and sky, use and beauty, rest and poise.
The plush upholstery cradles the back like a soft cloud (Megha), offering a sanctuary of comfort (Komala). It represents the serene embrace of the divine, providing solace and support for both body and spirit during moments of contemplation and rest.
The intricately carved apron (Alankāra) forms a beautiful and strong foundation (Ādhāra) beneath the seat. It signifies the hidden beauty and strength that supports and elevates the entire structure, grounding its elegance in rich artistry and symbolic depth.
