Lounge Chair – Walnut Frame with Velvet or Leather Upholstery

The frame is Walnut in all three colorways, so the only variable is what sits on it: Ebony Velvet, Black Leather or Maple Leather. Walnut is a darker, more open-grained wood than oak, and against black leather it reads almost tonal, while Maple Leather sets up a warmer contrast. This is built as a lounge chair, so the seat sits lower and further back than a dining chair would.

A lounge chair's load path differs from a dining chair's. Weight is carried further back and held for longer, so the rear leg and the junction where the back meets the frame take sustained load rather than the repeated in-and-out of a dining seat. Walnut is dense enough to hold that. Velvet on a lounge chair shows sitting marks in the pile; leather takes a sheen at the same contact points instead.

This is a chair for a corner rather than a set, angled toward a sofa or a window with a side table within reach. One is usually enough in a room; a pair facing each other turns a living room into a conversation layout.
