elevate it beyond typical mid-century reproductions. Dark vellum develops a lived-in patina over time, which suits the vintage aesthetic but means it won't stay pristine. The ash wood frame and angled arms give it a lighter visual footprint than most club chairs, making it workable in studies or bedroom corners, not just sitting rooms. Pairs well with warmer wood tones and works against both period and contemporary pieces. Worth noting: leather needs occasional conditioning, especially in centrally heated spaces.
