The labels underneath read "Directional, custom collection", these custom collection chairs were already special when they were first designed by and produced in the 1970s, but now they are even more special with the combined exquisiteness of Edelman Leather and expert craftsmanship in its tailored upholstery. If you don't believe us, see the close up pics in the photo gallery or come in to our showroom to view them in person.
The leather is so high quality, Edelman Leather, owned by Knoll group and produced in Italy, is well regarded as being the best of the best and this custom leather is called "Napoli" which is thicker and heavier than most hides, ages the way leather should - where every year it just gets more and more exquisite and beautiful as it gains character through use. The contrasting white thread in the upholstery work gives the look and feel of custom tailored suits. We have additional leather and chairs for more chairs if you require, message us with how many you need and we can custom tailor to suit.
These sophisticated dining chairs are also incredibly comfortable. New high quality foam was used, which is a huge improvement that is often missed. After 40 years of use, old foam can become hard and uncomfortable. New high quality foam gives the improvement of better ergonomics, comfort and hygiene.
