The ‘hunting’ chair represents a design that shows timeless aesthetics and functionality. Conceived during a period when design was evolving towards cleaner and more functional lines, the chair captures the essence of that moment in history, while offering a comfortable seating option. In the post-war period, the approach to design was undergoing a significant shift, where the focus was moving away from elaborate and ornamental forms towards a more functional and essential simplicity. The leather is reconditioned with a leather care product special for vintage leather. To give the leather some strength, color, and protection again after many years of usage.
