Know before you buy
Shou Sugi Ban is a traditional Japanese method of charring wood to create a durable, distressed black finish. This process highlights the natural grain of the wood while providing a unique, organic texture to the chair's U-shaped frame.
The Wilde Club Chair features a tight seat cushion, which offers a firmer, more structured sit compared to a plush, sink-in cushion. This is balanced by a loose pillow back, allowing you to adjust the cushioning for personalized comfort.
The top-grain leather strapping is a decorative accent that should be treated like any fine leather furniture. We recommend keeping it away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
With a width of 29 inches and a depth of 28 inches, the Wilde Club Chair has a compact, distinctive profile. It is well-suited for smaller living rooms, reading nooks, or as a pair in a larger seating arrangement.
The chair is upholstered in Lovegood Kohl, a high-quality fabric chosen for its rich aesthetic and durability. It provides a sophisticated, dark tone that complements the charred black finish of the wooden frame.
