Fine dining: two of the FT’s top ten chairs use leather

04/06/2018
Received industry wisdom is that leather is in use in around 20% of furniture on the market. The results of a recent Financial Times feature that presented a top ten finest dining chairs bore this out: two of the ten chairs the newspaper picked, exactly 20%, use leather.

Swedish handmade furniture brand Gemla won inclusion for its Vilda 5 chair, which combines natural bent wood and vegetable-tanned leather. The seat is made from solid beech or ash and the backrest consists of woven strands of veg-tanned tooling leather.

Leather’s other contribution to the list comes from London-based brand Ochre with its Caribou dining chair (also available as a bar-stool). The chair has a cantilever base that is completely wrapped in Italian saddle leather, with detachable nubuck cushions on the seat and the back.
