Samavṛtta is not just a chair. It is a pause carved in wood — a metrical gesture, a seat of reflection, a sculpture of rest. Its name, drawn from poetic meter, speaks of cycles, symmetry, and sacred cadence. Just as a perfect stanza brings harmony to thought, Samavṛtta brings harmony to space. With a gently arched back, woven cane breath, and pillared legs, this single-seater recalls the quiet dignity of Kerala verandahs and the lyrical ease of classical dance. It cradles the body not with excess, but with intention. Every curve is softened, every line refined — offering repose without rigidity. This is a chair that invites stillness. The seat, wide and lotus-like, allows one to linger — in conversation, contemplation, or simply the joy of being. The spindled balustrade at the back casts slender shadows, like jali patterns in temple corridors. The armrests flow outward like drawn brushstrokes — elegant, unbroken, serene. It pairs seamlessly with Sugandhira, its three-seater counterpart, yet stands beautifully alone in a writing nook, beside a brass lamp, or in the stillness of a reading alcove. Whether in a restored haveli, a tropical villa, or a mindful studio apartment, Samavṛtta is for those who seek not just furniture — but presence. It holds the body — yes. But it also holds pause, rhythm, and poetry.
Each component reflects a story of devotion, culture, and skilled hands
The back of Samavṛtta is crowned by a gentle toraṇa—an architectural arch in wood that reads like a metrical pause. It gathers the uprights, the spindles, and the cane into one composed gesture, holding the posture the way a raga holds its note. The arc is hand‑shaped, then hand‑rubbed until the grain glows softly; when you lean back, the curve finds your shoulders without insisting, a quiet alignment of body and line. By day it frames light; by night, it frames stillness
A cadence of turned spindles runs below the arch: rising, falling, resolving—like syllables in a perfectly measured stanza. Each spindle is turned one at a time on a simple lathe, then knife‑finished so the ridge lines remain crisp to the eye and soft to the touch. Together they lend rhythm and strength, keeping the back light yet steadfast, lyrical yet load‑bearing.
Brushstrokes in wood. The arms begin as straight intent and taper into rounded ease, their tops slightly domed so the forearm finds a natural rest. Underneath, the arris is softened—no hard corner to catch fabric, no abrupt end to break the line. From front post to back post, the arms carry the gesture of welcome; from palm to shoulder, they carry the body without weight.
A lotus of repose. The cushion is firm at the core for posture, gentle at the surface for linger—wrapped in a breathable, hand‑tailored cover that stays cool in Kerala’s weather and warm in the monsoon. Its proportions are deliberate: wide enough to change position without shifting mood, deep enough to sit forward for conversation or settle back for contemplation. A hidden zip allows the cover to breathe, air, and renew.
