Know before you buy
The name translates to 'skin and bones,' which describes the chair's minimalist design philosophy. It highlights the contrast between the solid ash frame—the 'bones'—and the taut, genuine leather seat—the 'skin.'
The backrest is engineered with a subtle tilt, allowing it to flex slightly to accommodate your posture. This provides a more ergonomic experience than a rigid, fixed-back chair.
Yes, the frame is crafted from solid ash, a hardwood known for its strength and resilience. The 'turn and copy' lathing technique used in its construction ensures structural integrity while maintaining a refined, lightweight profile.
With a seat height of 47.4cm, this armchair is well-suited for standard dining tables, which typically range from 72cm to 76cm in height. It offers a comfortable clearance for most users.
To maintain the leather, wipe it down periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid placing the chair in direct sunlight to prevent fading, and use a leather-specific conditioner if the material begins to feel dry.
