What is inside

Comfort you feel on day one and in year ten

A majlis is sat on for hours, by many people, every day. That is why the seat matters more than the fabric.

  • High-density foam core. 32 kg/m³ foam supports you without bottoming out and recovers its shape when you stand.
  • Fabrics chosen for gatherings. Velvet, jacquard and linen weaves in patterns from star and medallion to kilim.
  • Cut to your walls. Send us your measurements and we size every seat, back and armrest to fit.

Questions

Before you order

Do you really ship free to every country?

Yes. Shipping is included for every destination we deliver to, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and the Gulf.

What is the difference between a majlis, a jalsa and a diwan?

They are regional names for the same idea: low, cushioned seating arranged along the walls of a room for receiving guests. Majlis is the most common term in the Gulf, jalsa is widely used in the Emirates and Saudi Arabia, and diwan is common in Yemen and the Levant.

Can you make a set to fit an unusual room?

Yes. Every set is built from your wall measurements, so corners, radiators, doors and bay windows are planned around before anything is cut.

What foam do you use?

Every seat is built on 32 kg/m³ high-density foam, the grade used where furniture has to stay supportive under daily use.
