Ledger Reading Lounge

Commission from Rs. 2,40,000 Base sculpture · site engineering, delivery and installation quoted separately

Ledger is an asymmetric reading-lounge concept with one cantilevered table, one open shelf, a broad seat cushion and two horizontal back bolsters. A sculpted timber ribbon defines the opposite side and continues around the back.

The table may be configured left or right after engineering review. Current images are design visualisations; timber, upholstery, bronze support and dimensions are proposed. A full-size prototype must confirm table reach and load, open-side entry, seat height, edge radii, cushion support and overall stability.

Each approved commission is planned to be hand-finished for its reader and room. Timber tone and upholstery are selected from samples, and a discreet AUTHË engraving is proposed on the rear edge of the table. Natural grain and upholstery variation remain visible.

Commission configurator

Configure a commission

Step 1 / 4
01 / Configuration

Select the scale of the work.

Each option establishes the studio price for the work. Final dimensions, materials and delivery scope are confirmed before production.

Scale configuration
02 / Material and specification

Set the physical direction.

Finish, placement and service choices shape the proposal. Every interface is resolved before the work enters production.

03 / Site and delivery

Define the room and route.

Freight is calculated from the approved module and crate plan, destination, access, insurance and installation scope.

04 / Studio review

Send a commission brief.

The studio will review feasibility, confirm the work price and prepare the material, delivery and installation scope.

Submitting this brief does not place an order or collect payment. The displayed amount is the base work price. After review, the studio issues a Shopify Draft Order identifying the approved product, deposit or payment terms, taxes, packing, insured freight, installation and any site-specific development.
