The Kingsford Leather Armchair is the kind of piece that gives a room its centre of gravity. Upholstered in Vintage Tobacco South American top grain cow leather, its generous proportions, deep seat, and substantial arms create the sort of comfort that invites you to stay longer than intended. Every chair undergoes an intensive hand-finishing process that creates depth, texture, and the softly aged appearance normally associated with furniture that has been lived with for decades. Built around a hardwood frame and finished with brass nail detailing, the Kingsford brings together craftsmanship, warmth, and enduring character in a way that feels settled from the moment it arrives.

Frequent Queries
Will the leather vary between chairs?
Yes. The Kingsford uses genuine top grain leather that undergoes an intensive hand-finishing process. Natural variations in grain, colour, texture, and markings are expected and form part of the chair’s authenticity and individuality.
Will the leather change over time?
Absolutely. Vintage Tobacco leather is designed to develop additional softness and patina with use. Gentle creasing, shading, and wear patterns are natural and contribute to the character that makes genuine leather furniture appealing.
