Nayan Leather & Jute Dining Chair – Tan

The simplicity of this Nayan Leather and Jute dining chair allows the craft skills and natural materials to shine out. The mango wood frame is beautifully turned and hand-carved, creating an elegant base for the generously proportioned buffalo leather seat in aged tan. With a subtle lacquered finish, it has been designed to age well over time, gaining a patina that becomes even more beautiful as it ages. Padded and comfortable, the seat is finished with antique brass rivets for added detail, while the understated back support is made from woven jute, creating a chair that sits just as happily at a dining table as it does at a desk or even in a hallway.

Jute is a great natural material we love to use as it is a rain-fed crop that has little need for fertiliser or pesticides. It is a natural vegetable fibre that can be spun into strong and durable threads. Mango wood has a light natural tone with natural variation within the grain. We love working with this material which is a by-product of the mango-growing industry in India and repurposing it to give it a new lease of life. Once the trees are no longer fruitful, they are taken down and we use them to create many of our stylish, eclectic and sustainable furnishings for use throughout the home. This leather upholstery is handmade from buffalo leather, which is a natural byproduct.

To care for your leather wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. To protect the finish, avoid use of chemicals and household cleaners. To nourish the leather and to prevent drying out and cracking we recommend applying a specialist product, or using petroleum jelly or flax oil.
