Bourbon club chair

Le Bourbon leather club armchair

Le Bourbon is a leather club chair characterised by soft shapes and a rather wide seat.

This chair is heavily inspired by the iconic fauteuil confortable that could be found in gentlemen's clubs across the French and British colonies during the early 20^th century.

Our chairs are crafted by hand using full grain sheep leather (or Basane), which is known to be the most noble part of the skin due to its unparalleled patina and resilience.

In order to respect the leather and ensure higher quality, the patina is applied by hand and we use vegetable tanning, which is also better for the environment.

As we use untreated full grain leather, imperfections such as marbling, shading or superficial markings are slightly visible making each chair unique. Such is the charm of authentic Basane.

This high-end club chair is a pure reflection of the French artisan tradition, hand made by skilled craftsmen in our workshop.

Care advice

Your leather club chair can last several decades and maintain a good appearance if maintained properly.

Full grain leather

Our club chairs are made with full grain leather, which could be compared to natural wood : Both are organic materials, or “alive” so to speak, so they need to be nourished regularly to maintain their original quality. With proper care, the chair's leather can even improve with time.

Cleaning

A club chair's leather can be washed with a damp sponge soaked in a small amount of Marseille soap. Be careful not to use too much as it could turn the leather red.

Polish

Leather care can sound more constraining than it is, however you only need to polish your club chair twice a year. Preferably use natural wax the same colour as the chair.

Daily care

On a daily basis, you can maintain the most used parts of the leather chair by applying neutral cream (without parrafin) and polish it an hour later. This type of care is especially recommended if your chair is exposed to daylight or a heat source such as a fireplace.
