Dust with a soft, dry cloth and wipe spills promptly - avoid harsh cleaners. Condition the leather once or twice a year with a quality cream. Keep away from direct heat and strong sunlight to prevent drying and fading.
Why is it less?
The same piece as the molded leather dining chairs of the modern design retailers - sourced honestly.
The design-retail original lists at $995 per chair in leather. Ours keeps the molded shell, the double-stitched hides, and the steel-reinforced frame, shipped direct. Set of 2, $1,195 - $598 per chair. Set of 4, $1,495 - $374 per chair.

We go to the maker
We commission directly from the atelier behind the molded leather dining chairs of the modern design retailers.
We hold the spec
The same materials and construction. We never substitute a cheaper version.
We remove the markup
No gallery, no showroom rent, no licensing fee - only the cost of materials and craftsmanship.
Attention to detail
What a gallery photograph doesn’t say.
Furniture disappoints in a handful of predictable ways - and every one of them is a shortcut we refuse to take.
Eight checks between the bench and your room
Timber moisture-metered before a single cut
Joints clamped and left to fully cure
Leveled on a flat surface, rocked by hand
Dimensions measured against the spec
Every drawer and hinge cycled by hand
Finish checked in daylight-balanced light
Seams checked for pull, pucker, alignment
Re-inspected at our US hub before delivery
And if we still get it wrong
Every frame and joint is covered by our 2-year limited warranty, you have 100 nights to change your mind, and your piece is assembled in your room by our own delivery team - because the quickest way to make a well-built chair wobble is to bolt it together in the wrong order.
Not sure it’s right for your room? Book a complimentary design consultation - a specialist will talk through materials, finishes and fit before you commit.
