The Barrett Leather & Teak Chair pairs a reclaimed teak frame with a genuine tan leather seat and backrest, measuring 57 x 48 x 74cm. The seat sits at 45cm and the arms at 63cm from the floor, so it tucks under a standard dining table. Leather colour can be changed on request.

Leather and timber age at different rates, and that is a good part of the appeal here. The tan hide will darken and soften where hands and backs meet it, while the teak stays much as it is, so the chair ends up looking more like itself after a few years than it did on day one.

It is slim enough to work as a desk chair or a single seat beside a window, not only around a table. If you want several, buy them in one go. Reclaimed timber and natural leather vary between batches, and matching them later is harder than it sounds.
