Description

A heavy, architectural 1970s armchair with its original leather intact — restored timber, honest patina, and real presence.

The solid hardwood frame has been carefully re-secured, evenly walnut stained and sealed in Scandinavian oil, giving it a deep, low-sheen finish that enhances the grain without looking overworked.

The leather remains original to the piece and has been conditioned and repadded for comfort. It shows natural creasing and light surface texture consistent with genuine vintage leather — character that can’t be replicated with new upholstery.

Grounded, sculptural and substantial. Ideal for warehouse apartments, character homes or layered inner-city interiors.

Not reproduction. Not lightweight. A proper vintage piece.
