In Jhalak's words

The Bridgewater is the sofa people choose when they do not want the sofa to be the subject of the room. The arms are lower than the back and set slightly inward, the base is skirted, and the whole silhouette is soft rather than architectural.

Two practical advantages come with that shape. The low arm makes a comfortable place to rest an elbow or lay a head, which the tall square arm of a Tuxedo does not. And the skirt hides the floor line, which is useful in older Nepali houses where the floor is not perfectly level.

We build it with a proper kick-pleated skirt, machine-tailored and lined, not a loose flap of cloth stapled to the rail. If you prefer, we will leave the legs exposed in sal instead — it reads lighter and about a decade more modern.

“Some people want the sofa to speak. This one is for the people who want the room to speak.”— Jhalak Bahadur Khatri, proprietor

Ask us for an offcut of the actual foam going into your sofa and we will hand it to you. Come to the workshop and push the bare frame with your own hands before it is covered — most people who do that stop worrying.

Delivery and warranty, in plain language

Free delivery inside Ring Road, quoted honestly at cost anywhere else in Nepal. Fifty per cent advance when you sign the written specification, balance on delivery — and the specification lists the model, exact size, fabric name and batch, foam densities, leg finish and date, so there is nothing left to remember or argue about.

Five years on the frame and joinery. Five years on foam collapse. One year on stitching, zips and mechanisms. If something goes wrong, send a photograph and your ledger serial number to 9849239091 on WhatsApp — that is the whole claim process. Your fabric is reserved from the same roll for six months, so a matching extra piece actually matches.
