Carbon Aileron Aviator Chair - Black

​The Carbon Aileron is a "hero piece"—it naturally draws the eye. Because it blends cold industrial metal with warm, organic leather, it’s incredibly versatile. Here are three ways to style it:

​1. The Modern Executive Study

​Create a power corner in your office. Pair the chair with a reclaimed wood desk and a large industrial floor lamp in a matching black matte finish.

​The Look: Professional, grounded, and slightly edgy.

​Pro Tip: Add a cowhide or low-pile grey rug underneath to anchor the chair without hiding its sleek aluminium base.

​2. The Industrial Loft Living Room

​If you have exposed brick or concrete floors, this chair is in its element. Place it as a pair separated by a small metal side table topped with a vintage-style Edison bulb lamp.

​The Look: Raw, urban, and high-end.

​Pro Tip: Soften the look slightly with a chunky knit charcoal throw draped over the back to contrast against the smooth leather.

​3. The "Gentleman’s Club" Lounge

​Lean into the vintage aviation theme. Place the chair near a dark wood bookshelf and a brass or silver bar cart stocked with crystal decanters.

​The Look: Moody, luxurious, and timeless.

​Pro Tip: A large, minimalist wall clock or a framed vintage propeller blueprint on the wall behind the chair completes the "Aviator" aesthetic perfectly.

​Q: Is the aluminium frame heavy?

​A: While the chair is sturdy and feels substantial, aluminium is naturally lightweight compared to solid steel or wood. This makes it easy to reposition within your room while maintaining a "rock-solid" seating feel.

​Q: Why does my leather look slightly different from the photo?

​A: Each chair uses South American Top Grain Leather which undergoes a 48-hour hand-finishing process. Because it is a natural material, slight variations in grain, texture, and colour are hallmarks of authenticity and ensure your piece is unique.

​Q: Will the leather scratch easily?

​A: Top-grain leather is highly durable; however, like any premium leather, it can develop a patina over time. Many owners find that small "scuffs" actually enhance the vintage look, adding to its character and lustre as it ages.

​Q: Is the chair comfortable for long periods?

​A: Yes. The chair is designed with an ergonomically angled backrest and a generous seat depth (870mm). The leather is soft to the touch, providing a comfortable "sink-in" feel despite its sharp, modern silhouette.

​Q: How do I clean the aluminium frame?

​A: Simply use a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can strip the black finish or scratch the metal.

​To preserve the beauty of your Aileron Chair:

​Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure can fade the leather and heat the aluminium frame.

​Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to keep the metal and leather surfaces clean.

​Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every 6–12 months to maintain the leather’s supple feel and prevent cracking.
