THE STORY

Behind the Zeba

In Urdu, 'Zeba' means beautiful, and this chair earns its name in every curve. The sculpted back cradles, the hand-carved arms welcome, and the cabriole legs ground it all with botanical flourishes that climb like vines toward the seat.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Solid Sheesham frame. Hand-carved acanthus leaf details. Upholstered in cream velvet and damask.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

From Concept to Creation

Zeba armchair, inspiration phase
01

Inspiration

The Zeba was born from a meditation on armchair design, a desire to create something that honors tradition while speaking to contemporary sensibilities.

Zeba armchair, iteration phase
02

Iteration

Our design team spent months studying historical references, sketching countless iterations, and collaborating with our master artisans in Pakistan to refine every proportion and detail.

03

Realization

Every proportion is tested, every joint is considered. The final design emerges only when form, function, and craftsmanship align perfectly.

DESIGN DETAILS

Where the Curve Does the Work

Standing 32 inches tall and 28 inches wide, the Zeba is built around the curve. The sculpted back cradles the sitter, the carved arms open in welcome, and cabriole legs ground it all with climbing botanical detail.

  • Sculpted back and hand-carved arms shaped to fit the body
  • Cabriole legs rise into carved acanthus-leaf flourishes
  • Cream velvet and damask upholstery soften the solid frame
  • Solid Sheesham frame carries the upholstery with quiet strength
