Leather dining chairs bring warmth and character to a room without having to shout for attention. They can soften a modern kitchen, sit comfortably with a reclaimed wooden table or add a little industrial edge to a dining space. At Where Saints Go, you'll find genuine buffalo leather, hand-finished goat leather and woven leather designs, with both wooden and metal frames.
Why choose genuine leather dining chairs?
Part of the appeal is that genuine leather never looks completely uniform. Natural variations in grain and tone give each chair its own character. With the right care, quality leather can cope well with everyday use and develop a gentle patina over time. It is tactile, full of texture and works beautifully with warm timber, stone and metal. It is worth following the care instructions for your chosen chair, as different finishes need different treatment.
Seating chosen by Mark and Tracey
Mark and Tracey select the seating for Where Saints Go themselves. Their eye is on more than colour: the shape of a backrest, the feel of the seat, the materials and the way a chair works around a real dining table all matter. That is why the range includes everything from slim, ribbed industrial designs to sculptural wooden frames and relaxed woven leather.
If you love that industrial look, explore our Brooklyn range and the Brooklyn Dining Chair, with its distinctive ribbed buffalo leather seat and black metal frame. The Diner Collection offers another take on ribbed leather and metal, while the London Collection brings woven leather and teak into the mix.
What does Crib 5 rated mean?
Some of our leather dining chairs are listed as Crib 5 rated. This refers to a fire-resistance test under BS 5852, using an ignition source made from a small wooden crib to assess how upholstered seating resists ignition. It is particularly useful to understand when choosing seating for restaurants, cafés and other commercial spaces. It does not mean the chair is fireproof or automatically suitable for every venue. If you're furnishing a commercial space, check the rating and relevant test evidence for the particular product and your project's requirements.
Before ordering, compare seat height, overall width and arm clearance with your table. A small number of designs in this collection use leather-look upholstery rather than genuine hides, so each product page sets out the exact material and care details.
