Living room at dusk with a tweed Chesterfield and lamplight

Chesterfields & wing chairs

Rooms worth staying in.

British frames built in full-grain leather and Harris Tweed, and finished to be sat on every evening rather than admired from the doorway.

The collections

Three ways into the same house.

Oxblood Chester Club Chesterfield in a book-lined library

Chester Club

The piece the room is arranged around.

Deep-buttoned, scroll-armed and low. In oxblood rub-off it reads almost black until the light catches the crown of the arm.

Also as Chester Lounge and Chester Armchair

Wing chair seen from behind, Harris Tweed across the back with the cognac leather arm catching the light

Wing

Leather at the front. Tweed behind.

The two-tone piece — full-grain hide where you sit and lean, Harris Tweed down the back and sides. Made as an armchair and as a sofa.

Fudge leather · Cerato brown leather · Harris Tweed lodge + fudge

Patchwork leather and tweed armchair in an ochre room at golden hour

Gothland

No two panels the same.

Offcuts of hide and tweed set panel by panel, so every chair leaves the workshop as a one-off. The patchwork also runs across Grantchester and Chester Club.

Patchwork rub-off mix leather

Warm living room with an oxblood Chesterfield, boucle armchair and brass floor lamp

A Chesterfield is not a period piece. It is the only sofa that improves with a scratch.

In other houses

The same frames, differently lived in.

Dog beds

The same frame, at floor level.

Buttoned back, stud trim and turned feet, built the way the sofas are built and then scaled down, with a loose cushion dropped in. Stocked in medium and large.

Verona seeweed + fudge · Black velvet + cerato brown

Materials

Hide, tweed, and the seam between them.

Full-grain leathers in fudge and cerato brown, woven Harris Tweed in molrand and lodge, and the patchwork that uses whatever is left of both.

Harris Tweed is the only cloth in the world protected by its own Act of Parliament — handwoven at the weaver's home in the Outer Hebrides, from wool dyed and spun in the islands.
