Trestle, the contemporary furniture brand from the S.R. Jindal Group, introduces the Lira Dining Chair, an object that sits somewhere between furniture and form, poised with a quiet sense of balance.
Project Name: Lira Chair
Studio Name: Trestle
At first glance, it reads like a composition of shapes held in careful tension. A conical base rises with a steady taper, fully upholstered in a soft, tactile finish that grounds the piece. Above it, a circular seat rests lightly, almost floating, while the back lifts into a perfect round – compact, deliberate, and gently assertive. The geometry is clear, but never rigid; each line softens as it meets the next.
A slender metal pipe arcs around the backrest, tracing its curve with a subtle sheen. It doesn’t demand attention, yet it defines the chair’s outline, offering both support and a moment of contrast against the warmth of the upholstery. This interplay between structure and softness, line and volume, gives Lira its distinct presence.
In a muted, earthy palette, the chair feels composed, almost introspective. The fabric holds light differently through the day, revealing depth in its weave. The base anchors, the seat invites, and the backrest supports with an ease that feels unforced. Whether fixed or swivel variants, the movement remains fluid, almost instinctive. Lira does not crowd a room. It holds its place with clarity, allowing space to gather around it. At a dining table, it becomes part of a rhythm – sitting, turning, leaning in, staying a little longer than planned.
Available at Trestle, Lira continues to shape pieces that are not merely used, but lived with objects that find their place quietly, and remain.
