Leather Sienna Chair

Tall in the back, trimmed in dark studs, and covered in actual hide.

The Sienna Chair is by Oly, upholstered in horse hair hide over a hardwood frame, on dark brown legs. High-backed chairs of this sort were first built to shield a sitter from drafts, and now they give a living room or study a seat with presence. The hide's color shifts with the light: pale cream inside, with cooler, cloudy tones across the outer side. Double rows of nailheads trace the sloped arms and the high back, which narrows into a wing-like curve. Seat height is 17.5 inches and arm height 23.25. Twenty-five inches long, 33 deep, 41.25 high.

A formal chair with a faintly wild upbringing.
