These Pieces Prove Why We Love Leather in Furniture
The material of the moment is leather.
Saddle leather offers the warmth and tactility of a natural hide, but its more rigid structure holds up better than its softer cousins. We’ve spied designers deploying the material in mass-market furniture, like Blu Dot’s Toro Lounge chair; in bespoke pieces, like Brooklyn maker Friends & Family’s update of the classic Danish sling chair; and in high-end items, like Poltrona Frau’s Nivola sofa.
