Vintage Blue Leather Armchair & Footstool, Mid-1980s

A proper armchair, the kind they simply don't build any more. This deep blue full-grain leather armchair and matching footstool dates from the mid-1980s, and it has aged beautifully. The leather has developed a gentle patina, a soft sheen and subtle character that only decades of real use can give. It's the look that new "distressed" leather tries, and fails, to imitate.

Sculpted, shaped chrome legs lift the whole design and give it a sleek, confident stance. Against the rich blue leather, the effect is pure 1980s style with real quality behind it.

Built to last

• Stunning quality, full grain leather that is supple and richly coloured

• Heavy, solid frame with no creaks, wobbles or flex

• Shaped chrome legs in lovely condition

• Generous proportions with deep, supportive seating

Comfort that earns its placeSink in and stay a while. The seat and back support you properly, and the footstool lets you stretch right out. It's a serious piece of seating, and it's at home almost anywhere:

• Gaming: long sessions without the aches

• Lounge: the chair everyone fights over

• Desk or study: a far better place to sit than any office chair

Dimensions (armchair)

• Width: 85 cm

• Depth: 87 cm

• Height: 103 cm

• Seat height: 45 cm

A note on condition: This is an original 1980s piece, so it carries honest signs of age, including the slight patina to the leather. We consider that part of its charm, and it is not damage. It's a sound, characterful chair with decades of life still in it.

One chair and one footstool available. Once it's gone, it's gone.
