leather chairs

Tanned hide seats

Leather chairs are seating furniture upholstered in animal hide, typically associated with executive offices, law firms, and traditional libraries.

The phrase evokes a particular aesthetic—dark wood, masculine authority, old money: The partners met in a room of leather chairs and mahogany.

Leather chairs suggest formality and expense compared to fabric alternatives.
