Direct Answer
Indian home library furniture: one or two leather armchairs (75-80 cm wide, wingback or high-back) in cognac or dark green full-grain leather as primary reading seats, a compact 2-seater love seat (160-180 cm) for extended reading or napping, and a footstool or ottoman for leg support during long reading sessions. The library sofa needs firm upright cushioning (60-degree back angle) rather than deep reclined comfort — reading posture is upright. Leather suits library aesthetics and handles the lower sunlight exposure typically found in Indian library rooms.
Understanding this is critical for Indian furniture buyers. Conditions in Indian homes including seasonal humidity variation, multi-generational use, Indian cooking proximity, and the 15-20 year ownership horizon all factor into furniture decisions differently than in European or American contexts.
