Ten year frame

Bagmati low sofa

Three seats in full grain tan leather on turned walnut legs. The cushions are latex over feather and can be refilled rather than replaced, and the frame is doweled and glued, never stapled.

Lalitpur armchair

The sofa's companion in black aniline leather, with the same slim arm and walnut leg. Deep enough to read in, narrow enough for a flat in the city.

Thamel side chair

A low armless chair with a wool blend seat and turned oak legs. Tucks under a table or sits in the corner of a small room without filling it.

Tables and storage

Made to measure

Patan dining table

A round oak top on a solid conical pedestal, so nobody sits astride a leg. A hundred and thirty centimetres across, which seats five comfortably and six at a push.

Kirtipur side table

A round oak top on three tapered legs, fifty five centimetres across and low enough to sit beside a sofa. Light enough to move with one hand.

Sanepa sideboard

Two doors on a solid oak carcass, with an adjustable shelf inside and a recessed finger pull instead of a handle. Deep enough for dinner plates standing up, which most sideboards are not.
