The mighty Samuel Johnson features large umbrella handle shaped arms that continues around the back, giving amplitude and softness in back support. The deep seat and fully sprung back and armrests make sitting in a Samuel Johnson feel decadent and indulgent.

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.
