The Hawthorne Lounge Chair from Arteriors references automotive design through race strip paneling that runs vertically across the aniline leather upholstery. Defined topstitching outlines each panel and continues across the back, making the chair fully finished for floating placement within a room. The legs taper dramatically and receive wrapping in leather cord along their length before terminating in brass ferrules that provide both protection and decorative punctuation. This attention to leg detailing transforms structural supports into design elements.
