Wren Armchair

Low back, full-grain aniline leather

A small armchair for the corner of a bedroom or the end of a sofa, drawn at a 31-inch width so it fits where a lounge chair will not. The frame is kiln-dried beech with a sprung seat platform, and the arms are low enough to sit sideways across.

Offered in a full-grain aniline leather that is dyed all the way through and finished with nothing on top, so it marks early, burnishes around the arms within a year, and looks considerably better at five years than at five weeks. Charcoal wool is available for anyone who would rather it did not.

    Four years, two kids, one flood

    We specified the Halden table for a client in Cobble Hill in 2022. It has been refinished once - forty minutes with a sanding block and oil - and the through-tenons have not moved at all. I have since put it in three more projects.

    Thirteen weeks, worth every one

    The Marlow arrived in the three-seat, oatmeal bouclé. The studio sent a photo of the fabric roll before cutting and the delivery crew took the door off and rehung it. A year in, the cushions still recover overnight and the frame is silent.

    Beautiful chair, read the seat height

    The Vessel is everything the description says - the back angle really is the point. My only note is that at 16 inches the seat is lower than most lounge chairs, which is wonderful for reading and less so if you get up often. Measure against what you own.

    The lighting is the quiet win

    Bought three Corso pendants for a dining table and hung them at the 32 inches the studio recommended. No glare in anyone’s eyes, and the warm-dim genuinely drops to candlelight rather than going grey. The spun shade has no seam anywhere on it.
