Mission Ranch/Tuscany Dining Chair

Meanwhile, back at the ranch: you want something new but not so modern… Updated! Yep, that’s it. Weathered barnwood grays with burnished pyrite gold and sun faded barn reds in an over-scaled fabric pattern creates the dynamic spark needed for starting a fired-up conversation at the dinner table with top grain leather seats for hours of comfort. The use of gray in the traditional ranch/Tuscany palette is a brilliant update.

The 100% top grain leather seat is dark “bray” -a warm brown gray charcoal- that coordinate with the stamped leather “crocodile” outside back. Only 5% of the world uses these leathers, mostly couture shoe companies and high-end handbag makers. The tapered legs are stained an espresso brown black. This dining chair has all the sleek lines of modern dining.

How does it sit? Like a dream. These local artisans are the best in engineering a chair to last for decades without the “sit” changing over time. Sustainability is the backbone of The Arrangement. The wood of 87% of The Arrangement artisans and USA vendors are using sustainable forestry woods.

Design-wise: I believe chairs are the “frame” around the table. A novel thought, but so much more creative in thinking. The concept of “matching wood stains” on chairs to a table is out the window! That’s liberating but scary. It opens the door on creating custom one of a kind chairs surrounding a table that entertain the mind and spirit.

Legacy furniture is what I call it. Buy the best that you can, you will only buy it once.
