Know before you buy
The armchair is upholstered in premium semi-aniline leather sourced from Argentina. This type of leather is treated with a pigmented finish and a clear varnish to balance a natural look with enhanced durability.
Because the chair uses genuine leather, each piece will feature unique natural characteristics such as subtle scars, creases, and grain variations. These markings are intentional and celebrate the authenticity of the material.
The leather is finished with a durable clear varnish, making it relatively low-maintenance. We recommend dusting it regularly with a soft cloth and avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out over time.
The Kensington Armchair measures 123 cm in width, 96 cm in depth, and 78 cm in height. The seat height is 47 cm, which is a standard height suitable for most living room configurations.
The armchair is built on a solid wood frame and has a maximum weight capacity of 120 kg.
