INTRODUCING FOUNDRY — Our newest leather collection, designed for those who appreciate furniture with depth, character, and a story to tell.
The Vanguard Armchair is a compact powerhouse of style, bringing the rugged elegance of the Foundry collection into a classic tub chair silhouette. This isn't just a seat; it’s a piece of heritage. Crafted with a focus on a worn, rustic aesthetic, the Vanguard showcases the raw beauty of hand-finished leather, featuring natural markings and a beautifully aged patina that makes every chair a one-of-a-kind original.
The Foundry Heritage:
-
South American Cow Leather: Upholstered in premium South American hide, selected for its durability and rich, organic grain.
-
Artisanal 48-Hour Process: Each Vanguard chair undergoes more than 48 hours of meticulous hand-finishing. This intensive multi-step process creates a "vintage" look that looks like it has been passed down through generations.
-
A Living Finish: Designed to age gracefully, the leather will continue to wear in over time, softening and developing an even deeper lustre and character the more it is used.
-
Sculptural Tub Design: The rounded, wrap-around backrest provides an enveloping sense of comfort, while its streamlined dimensions make it perfect for smaller nooks or as a pair in a sophisticated lounge setting.

Design & Versatility
The Vanguard’s low-profile tub design is the ultimate versatile accent. Whether placed in a quiet corner of a study, used as a sophisticated bedroom chair, or paired up in a living room, its rich Cognac tones bring an immediate sense of warmth and "old-world" luxury to your home.
Quality & Authenticity
Because each Vanguard chair is hand-finished, you will notice variations in colour and texture. These are the hallmarks of authentic, high-quality leather and a manual crafting process, ensuring your furniture has a soul and a history from the moment it arrives.
