Exposed walnut frame. Cognac leather. Nailhead detail at every seam — the hallmarks of a well-built chair.
The oval cutout at the top of the back is the detail that makes this chair — it functions as a carry handle, but it also punches a breath of light into what would otherwise be a solid, somewhat serious back panel. Nailhead trim is never decorative here; it marks the honest join between the leather and the wood.
The Making of the Tub Chair
Designed by Harsha
The Tub Chair draws from a tradition of English club furniture — the barrel back, the exposed frame, the studded seams — but keeps the proportions compact enough to belong almost anywhere. A chair that rewards being examined closely.
Inset Leather Panels
Tan cognac leather precisely sized to sit within the frame rebate — back and seat panels must fit flush, no gaps, no overhang, with natural grain variation adding warmth to every piece. ::
Nailhead by Hand
Individual bronze studs are hand-spaced and driven along every leather-to-frame seam — consistent even spacing at the back perimeter, arm scrolls, and seat border requires patience and a steady eye. ::
The Continuous Arc
The arm rail sweeps in one unbroken curve from back to front leg — achieved through careful joinery or steam-bending of solid walnut to maintain the arc without visible breaks.
