Know before you buy
The chair is upholstered in top-grain, hand-finished leather. This type of leather is prized for its durability and natural character, which will develop a unique patina over time.
The parachute straps are both functional and structural. They are crafted from a combination of canvas, leather, and metal buckles to support the seat while adding to the chair's industrial, mid-century aesthetic.
The chair measures 28 inches wide, 32.75 inches deep, and 33 inches high. Given its open, sling-style silhouette, it works well in both smaller reading nooks and larger living room arrangements.
The frame is made from natural ash wood. This provides a light, organic contrast to the darker leather upholstery and metal hardware, highlighting the wood's natural grain.
To maintain the leather, wipe it down periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid placing the chair in direct sunlight to prevent fading and keep it away from heat sources that could dry out the hide.
