There is something about a good leather chair that makes a room feel more considered. Whether it sits at the dining table or in a quiet corner of the living room, leather brings warmth, texture and a sense of character. Mark and Tracey choose the seating for Where Saints Go themselves, looking for distinctive shapes, thoughtful proportions and materials that feel right for the space.
Why choose a genuine leather chair?
Genuine leather has its own grain, markings and subtle changes in colour, so no two hides are exactly alike. With suitable care, it can stand up to regular use and acquire a softer, lived-in look as it ages. It is a material that works just as well with a slim black metal frame as it does with solid teak or a curved wooden back. Different leathers need different care, so check the details of each design before choosing.
Leather seating with character
For dining spaces, explore our leather dining chairs, including ribbed buffalo leather and hand-finished goat leather options. Our Brooklyn Collection brings together dining chairs and bar stools with industrial metal frames, while the London Collection takes a more relaxed direction with woven leather and warm teak. For something to settle into away from the table, the Earl Armchair pairs a leather sling seat with a natural wooden frame.
A note on Crib 5 rated seating
Selected leather chairs in our range are described as Crib 5 rated. In simple terms, BS 5852 ignition source 5 tests the resistance of upholstered seating materials to ignition using a burning wooden crib. This information can matter when specifying seating for hospitality and other commercial interiors. It is not a claim that every leather chair is fireproof, and not every design carries the rating. For commercial use, check the individual product's specification and supporting fire-test information against the needs of your venue.
Think about where the chair will live, the seat height you need and how much room there is around it. Most of this collection features genuine leather, though a smaller number of styles use leather-look materials. The individual product pages explain what each chair is made from so you can choose with confidence.
