A green upholstered corner sofa with woven cane side panels, standing in a daylit room with sheer curtains and two tall timber wall niches.

Living

The room everyone else sees — and uses hardest.

4 pieces

Four buttoned back cushions on a sofa in close-up, each drawn in to a single covered button, with the wooden arm frame entering at the right.

One button holds each back cushion to its frame. That is what stops a loose back from walking forward every time somebody gets up, and why the face creases toward the centre instead of sagging along the bottom edge.

  1. A three-seat sofa in tan buttoned upholstery with rolled arms, standing against a dark green panelled wall.

    Sofa

    A true three-seater — nobody has to negotiate for room.

  2. An armchair in green upholstery with a woven cane side panel set into a dark timber frame, seen three-quarters on.

    Armchair

    The caned side panels breathe. In May, that matters more than any cushion.

  3. Two square nesting tables with pale veined stone tops on slim brass-toned frames, the smaller pulled out from under the larger.

    Nesting tables

    Two heights, so the second one comes out only when the room needs it.

  4. A long low teak sideboard with four plain doors, against a pale wall.

    Sideboard

    One long surface, four doors. Every living room needs somewhere things can disappear.

In other rooms

The pieces above, photographed where they end up. Different rooms, different light, the same furniture.

  1. A brown textured-weave sofa and loveseat with curved arms on a pale oak floor, a linen curtain half drawn across the window behind.
    01One window, and nothing on the walls. The weave carries the whole room.
  2. A powder-blue deep-buttoned sofa and two armchairs in a tall room, sheer curtains across a full-height window and a pale marble floor.
    02Tall windows, and a floor that throws the light back up. Buttoning reads best in exactly this.
  3. A tan low-profile sofa and loveseat on a grey micro-cement floor, with glazing along one side looking onto trees.
    03An apartment with the garden coming in down one side. Low arms keep the sightline to it.
  4. A dusty-rose sofa and two armchairs with curved wooden arms, standing on a woven rug in a room with plain plaster walls.
    04Colour is the whole decision here. Everything the room puts round it stays quiet.
  5. A silver-grey buttoned sofa and loveseat beside a wide opening onto a shaded veranda, with green planting beyond it.
    05Overcast light, which is most of the year here. Grey holds its colour in it.
  6. A teal and cream sofa set with a wooden frame on a polished stone floor, open to a garden along one side.
    06Half in, half out. The veranda is where a house in Kerala does most of its sitting.
  7. A navy sofa with woven cane arms against a dark green wall, a shelf of books and a framed print above it.
    07A reading corner, and one lamp’s worth of work. Cane keeps the frame from closing the corner in.
  8. A slatted wooden sofa set with dark cushions on a veranda, a colonnade along one side opening onto a planted courtyard.
    08A courtyard edge, late in the day. Slats let the draught through the back of the seat.
