The Bruges is a lounge chair with a modern take on the classic roll-arm, upholstered in full-grain pure-aniline Italian-tanned leather over a kiln-dried solid wood frame. High-density foam topped with a feather-down blend gives a soft but supported sit, and the zippered cushion covers come off for upkeep. It suits buyers who want a leather reading chair with a vintage patina over time rather than a low-maintenance fabric seat. Against fabric lounge chairs it asks more care: the non-pigmented leather scuffs and darkens with use, and each hide varies in color. Owners rate it highly, and the main trade-offs are the loose, non-reversible cushions and the leather's sensitivity to marks.

Owners rate the Bruges very highly, praising the leather quality and the comfortable, supportive sit. The recurring notes are that the aniline leather marks easily and that the loose cushions need upkeep.
The Bruges Leather Lounge Chair is a modern take on the traditional roll-arm chair. It is upholstered in full-grain, pure-aniline Italian-tanned leather. The chocolate brown leather is non-pigmented, which shows the natural character of the hide. It will scuff with use and develop a vintage patina. Each hide is unique, so depth of color varies.
The frame is kiln-dried solid wood to prevent warping. The seat and back cushions are loose and non-reversible. They are filled with high-density foam, and the seat-back cushion has a feather down and fiber blend. The cushion covers are removable and zippered. The solid wood legs come in a walnut (onyx black) or ebony brown (chocolate brown) finish.
Some assembly is required for the legs only and takes about 10 minutes. The chair is recommended for indoor use only.
