Story
From the saddle leather series
The page calls the Spanish Dining Chair generous and exquisitely crafted and places it in the well-known series of saddle leather chairs by Børge Mogensen. Fredericia says that, as the leather expands over time, the adjustable straps can be tightened, and describes the chair as a statement of craftsmanship that becomes more beautiful with age.
