details >Don’t think too hard at first; pick the chair you fall in love with. Here are a few examples to click through and look at:
If you’re looking for something a little more unique, try a leather chair with a non-leather frame, like a leather chair with a wood frame or a leather accent chair with a metal frame. You can also shop our selection of leather recliners.
We always frame this question in two parts: 1) what do you want your leather to look like the day it’s delivered, and 2) how do you want it to wear over time?
For delivery day, think about—
For how it wears over time—
The right chair leather is the leather that performs the way you want it to. It’s often a good idea to see a leather before you commit to it. You can visit our leather library to order some free swatches, but if the swatch you want isn’t available, drop by a Design Center, where you can see a bigger selection up close.
We do, of course—at least, in our humble opinions! Our genuine leather chairs are covered with entire hides that our artisans cut and color-blend by hand. We don’t use castoffs (or bicast) or bonded leather, and we don’t cut corners by vinyl matching.
All of our leathers are tailored by hand over a durable engineered or kiln-dried hardwood frame (as a bonus, we source much of our wood from responsibly managed forests). We only use CertiPUR-US® certified foams that meet the industry’s highest standards for contents, durability, and emissions.
If you ask for nailhead trim, welt, or other tailored option, it’s applied by hand. If your leather chair has a wood or metal frame, it’s finished by hand. Something custom-made my master artisans takes time to create, but in our opinions, the results are worth it.
Hides can be smooth like a baseball or pebbled like a basketball, and you’ll often see both textures on the same hide. Dye can enhance the pebbled look, and some people prefer it. If you don’t like textural variations, make sure to tell your designer, so they can help you choose a leather that’s been buffed for minimal variation.
Hook-and-loop tape keeps the cushion from falling forward when you aren’t using it. It’s just a little detail that keeps your leather chair looking shipshape.
When you sit down on a fabric chair, the air can escape through the openings in the fabric’s weave. Leather isn’t porous in that way, so air needs a way to escape—so you don’t feel like you’re going to bounce off after you sit down!
