Direct Answer
For tall Indians (180+ cm height): seat depth 60-65 cm (allows back-to-cushion contact with feet flat on floor), seat height 43-45 cm (natural knee angle), and high back (90+ cm) for full back and head support. Standard Indian sofas at 55-58 cm depth are designed for average Indian height (163-170 cm) and are insufficient for tall users. SOISU's Standard Bespoke model accommodates longer seat depths at no extra cost — specify at order placement.
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.
