Frequently Asked Questions about Classic Leather Chairs for Traditional Offices
What distinguishes a classic office armchair from a modern one?
Classic leather armchairs are defined by their timeless silhouettes, artisanal construction, and decorative details. Unlike modern seating, they often feature button-tufted backs, turned wooden legs, brass nailhead trims, and premium full-grain leathers—evoking tradition, authority, and permanence.
Are these chairs entirely handcrafted in Italy?
Yes. Most of our classic leather chairs are handcrafted by Italian artisans using traditional upholstery techniques. Each piece is assembled, stitched and finished by hand, ensuring impeccable quality and long-lasting value.
Are these chairs intended for daily office use or formal reception areas?
Both. Many of our clients use classic chairs in executive offices, legal studios, reception lounges, and representative areas such as embassies or boardrooms. Their comfort and elegance make them suitable for both work and hospitality functions.
Can I customise leather colour, wood finish, or details?
Absolutely. You can choose from a refined palette of leathers (including deep oxblood, British racing green, cream, and cognac), hand-polished wood finishes, and optional details such as brass casters, decorative stitching, or embossed crests.
Are your classic chairs designed to match traditional desks or panelled rooms?
Yes. These chairs are often paired with executive desks in walnut, mahogany or cherrywood, or installed in boiserie-lined interiors and heritage buildings. The proportions and finishes are carefully chosen to integrate seamlessly into traditional architecture.
Do you offer models with swivel bases or castors for executive use?
Yes. While many classic chairs are stationary, we also offer models with swivel mechanisms, adjustable heights, and discreet castors—blending classical aesthetics with contemporary functionality for executive use.
Can you furnish full traditional office suites with matching seating?
Yes. We offer complete classical collections including desks, armchairs, guest chairs, meeting tables and bookcases. All pieces are made to coordinate in wood, leather, and style—for a coherent and prestigious environment.
