Stripped away from all excess, this hanging chair has a circular frame with the sheet of leather hanging loose within it, to create a sleek, sexy, and oh so comfortable experience. This chair’s clean lines and lightness makes it a perfect fit for any space.

Each design is carved out of thick Vegetable Tan Leather leaving an exposed and undyed trench or valley that forms the beautiful picture of your choice. The options available are a variety of African faces, plants and South Africa’s beloved Blue Crane. Any option you choose is bound to be a showstopper and a hot topic of discussion.

Each one is handmade with care by our craftsmen. Form-fitting comfort, perfect for any indoor spaces.

The beauty of leather is that each hide has natural markings and features, which means that each piece is unique, with its own personality.

We embrace these characteristics and individuality of the hides we use. There might be slight colour variations. The craftsmanship and skill of the artist’s hand constitutes an inherent part of the making of your particular piece, a feature we celebrate as part of the creative process.

As you live with your product, the leather will evolve. With the correct care, the appearance of your newly purchased piece will retain its beauty, developing its own character and patina.

We support products that are created by hand, demonstrating the unique skill of the artisan and support one-of-a-kind pieces, and variance in design due to the process of hand crafting. In a world of homogenized mass production, slower designed, handmade products require less energy than mass-produced items and often last longer, reducing the cycle of waste in our “throw-away” culture.

Hanging mechanisms are supplied in standard lengths, ready for installation.
