Know before you buy
The chair is a direct homage to the original 1966-1977 Ford Bronco backbench seat. It was designed by ICON 4x4 founder Jonathan Ward to translate that classic automotive aesthetic into a functional piece of interior furniture.
Nubuck is a top-grain leather that has been buffed to create a soft, velvety texture. Because it is a natural material, it will develop a unique patina over time, reflecting how the chair is used in your space.
No, the ICON Bronco Chair is designed exclusively for indoor use. The materials, particularly the Nubuck leather, are not treated to withstand exposure to outdoor elements like moisture or direct sunlight.
The chair uses high-resiliency, high-density polyurethane foam cores. This construction is engineered to provide a firm, supportive sit that maintains its shape and comfort level even with frequent use.
The frame is built from heavy-duty, powder-coated tubular steel. This material choice provides a robust, industrial-grade foundation that mirrors the durability of the classic vehicle components that inspired the chair.
