Know before you buy
Because this is full-grain aniline leather, it will develop a unique patina as it is exposed to light and daily use. The wax and oil finish helps maintain a soft hand, but you should expect the leather to show natural character marks and color variations that evolve over the life of the chair.
Yes, the frame is constructed from kiln-dried solid ash and engineered hardwood, ensuring structural integrity. The cantilever design is engineered to provide a supportive, comfortable recline while maintaining a stable base.
The seat features a polyfoam core wrapped in a blend of synthetic fiber and down. This combination provides a balance of firm support for sitting and a soft, plush feel that prevents the cushion from feeling too rigid.
To keep the leather looking its best, wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust. Avoid placing the chair in direct sunlight to prevent fading, and address any spills immediately by blotting with a clean, damp cloth.
The chair is designed with a relaxed, lounge-style recline rather than an upright, formal posture. It is best suited for casual living spaces, reading nooks, or areas where you want to encourage a more laid-back seating position.
