The 19th century poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, ‘Waldo’ to his friends, was an ardent advocate of individualism. With its highly individual crafted details, this beautifully tufted chesterfield design is more than a fitting tribute to its brilliant namesake.

Colour dyes are mixed and gently massaged into the leather which is then allowed to dry. This process is repeated at least six times to ensure a beautifully-toned patina. As the dyes are absorbed in varying intensities on different areas of the skin, the original hallmarks of the hide ensure that every piece is completely unique and distinctive. Full-aniline leather, which is the hide’s most organic state, will always reveal heavy scarring and blemishes. In areas of frequent use, such as the seat and arm, the natural oils will move around to cause a lightening in colour. This is a soft full-grain leather that flirts with Avant-garde art. Its imperfections give it soul.
