The Padma Vyuh Bench is a living sculpture — an heirloom seat combining Kerala’s master woodcarving traditions and the cool elegance of handwoven cane. Crafted from seasoned hardwood, every curve, petal, and scroll has been chiselled by hand, creating an arresting play of light and shadow over the ornate floral borders. The backrest draws the eye immediately: three cane panels arranged in symmetrical formation, each radiating from a hand-carved central blossom, evoking the geometry and perfection of the lotus. Above them, a proudly carved crest rail crowns the bench, depicting swirling vines, petals, and buds — frozen in perfect bloom. The seating platform is broad and strong, resting on legs that are both turned and intricately carved, lending stability as well as poise. The front apron carries a continuous vine scroll motif, uniting the design from side to side. The arms curve outward gracefully, a welcome gesture to any guest. Whether placed in a sunlit verandah, a grand hallway, or amidst the treasures of a boutique heritage villa, the Padma Vyuh Bench is more than a seat — it is a centrepiece that speaks of prestige, craftsmanship, and the living heritage of Kerala.
Each component reflects a story of devotion, culture, and skilled hands
The upper crown of the bench features an ornamental crest rail hand-carved with a central lotus bloom flanked by curling foliage. Padmashree means "blessed lotus," symbolising welcome, prosperity, and honour.
The backrest’s cane weave radiates outward in a sunburst pattern from a central carved medallion. Surya Mandal means "sun circle" — a nod to the glowing, halo-like effect of the design.
The lower front apron is adorned with flowing vine carvings. Vallari means "creeper" or "vine," representing growth and continuity in Kerala’s decorative vocabulary.
Elegantly curved arms whose profile resembles the gentle bend of a welcoming hand (Hasta), providing comfort while retaining a regal silhouette.
Turned legs with accent carving at the shoulders, evoking the architectural pillars (Stambha) of traditional Kerala homes, giving both stature and strength.
