The frames are built from substantial oak members with rounded legs, and round wooden plugs on the legs and side rails give the construction a crafted look. On each side, two leather straps run over the arm rail through wooden D-rings and hold the leather side panels beneath it, with buckles fastening them underneath. The back cushion and padded arms are tufted with small leather tabs, and the arms curl over the frame in soft, pillowy rolls.

from behind, two broad vertical oak slats and a shaped top rail frame the leather back, so the chairs look finished from every angle. The deeply grained, chocolate-toned leather sets off the honey colour of the oak, and the seats rest on a grid of webbing.

Low and deep in proportion, the pair works well facing each other across a coffee table, on either side of a fireplace, or as a reading corner in a study or den.

The warm oak and chunky frames suit rustic and Organic Modern interiors, while the tufted brown leather adds lived-in character to a Mid-Century Modern or eclectic room. See less
