The furniture, in rooms.

Photographs of what is on the floor, standing in the kind of room it ends up in. Step through with the arrows, a swipe, or the arrow keys.

  1. A mauve buttoned sofa under a barred window with two matching armchairs on a polished stone floor.
    A house in KeralaLate morning, and the window is doing all the work.
  2. A green corner sofa with woven cane side panels in a room with sheer curtains and two tall timber wall niches.
    A house in KeralaDelivered, and lived with. Cane keeps a corner set from walling the corner in.
  3. A tan buttoned sofa and two armchairs against a dark green panelled wall, a floor lamp lit at one side.
    A studyOne lamp, one wall, and a set allowed to be the only colour in the room.
  4. A navy sofa with woven cane arms against a dark green wall, a shelf of books and a framed print above it.
    A reading cornerThe darkest room in the set, and the one that needs the least in it.
  5. A powder-blue deep-buttoned sofa and two armchairs in a tall room with sheer curtains and a pale marble floor.
    A drawing roomTall windows, and a floor that throws the light back up. Buttoning reads best in exactly this.
  6. A brown textured-weave sofa and loveseat with curved arms on a pale oak floor, a linen curtain half drawn behind.
    A living roomOne window, and nothing on the walls. The weave carries the whole room.
  7. A silver-grey buttoned sofa and loveseat beside a wide opening onto a shaded veranda with green planting beyond.
    A coastal roomOvercast light, which is most of the year here. Grey holds its colour in it.
  8. A brown channel-stitched sofa and armchair on a terrazzo floor, a recessed niche holding a single ceramic vessel.
    A loungeA long wall with one thing on it. The stitching does the rest.
  9. A tan low-profile sofa and loveseat on a grey micro-cement floor, glazing along one side looking onto trees.
    An apartmentThe garden comes in down one side. Low arms keep the sightline to it.
  10. A dusty-rose sofa and two armchairs with curved wooden arms on a woven rug, against plain plaster walls.
    A sitting roomColour is the whole decision here. Everything the room puts round it stays quiet.
  11. A grey-blue sofa set with an open spindle frame, standing in a glazed garden room on a pale stone floor.
    A garden roomYou can see through the back of it, which is why a full set does not close the room down.
  12. A teal and cream sofa set with a wooden frame on a polished stone floor, open to a garden along one side.
    A verandaHalf in, half out. The veranda is where a house in Kerala does most of its sitting.
  13. A slatted wooden sofa set with dark cushions on a veranda, a colonnade along one side opening onto a planted courtyard.
    A courtyard edgeLate in the day. Slats let the draught through the back of the seat.
