The story

An upright chair whose hide is its own.

The Cassini sits you upright on a firm seat 19 inches off the floor, with a flat back to lean against and wooden arms where your hands come to rest. It suits a reading corner, a bedroom or the wall by the front door, a chair used for a few minutes at a time and seen all day.

Its character comes from two materials. The seat and back are faced in hair-on goat hide, so the white and russet-brown markings on your chair belong to it alone, and the open Mindi oak frame around them sets each flat arm on two splayed legs, with a soft curve where wood meets wood.

The design

Three details that make the Cassini.

The Cassini sets a natural hide inside a simple wooden frame. These three details give it its character.

Hair-On Hide and Curved Oak

Hair-On Hide and Curved Oak

Up close, the goat hide has short, sleek hair lying in one direction, in patches of white and russet brown framed by a thin black welt. Beside it, the walnut-brown Mindi oak arm swells into a soft curved cove where it meets each leg.

Flat Arms on Splayed Legs

Flat Arms on Splayed Legs

Each arm rests on two legs, one upright at the front and one raked well back, so the sides read as an open A. The seat sits between them on plain wooden rails, with no stretchers near the floor.

A Chair With Its Own Markings

A Chair With Its Own Markings

At 23 inches wide, the Cassini fits a reading corner, a bedroom or an entryway. Its white and brown hide and black edges sit well with linen, oak and stone, and no two chairs carry quite the same pattern.

Dimensions

Will it fit?

Width 23″ 58 cm
Depth 24.5″ 62 cm
Height 35.5″ 90 cm

Planning tip. Allow a footprint of about 23" × 24.5" (58 × 62 cm), plus roughly 30" (75 cm) of clear floor in front. With a seat 19" (48 cm) high, a side table about 20" to 24" (51 to 61 cm) tall sits within easy reach. A pair with a small side table between them needs about 6 ft (1.8 m) of wall. The box measures 27" x 25" x 38" (69 x 64 x 97 cm), so check doorways first.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

How big is it?

23" (58 cm) wide, 24.5" (62 cm) deep and 35.5" (90 cm) high. The seat is 19" (48 cm) high, and the back rises 16" (41 cm) above it.

What is it covered in?

The top of the seat and the front of the back are hair-on goat hide. The sides of the seat and back and the outside back are smooth black leather and PU (polyurethane) vegan leather. The frame, arms and legs are Mindi oak in a walnut-brown finish.

Will my chair look like the photos?

Not exactly. Each hide has its own markings, so the size and placement of the white and brown will differ, and a hide's colours can range from white and grey to brown and black. A little shedding is normal with hair-on hide.

Does it need assembly?

No assembly is required. The chair weighs 17.6 lb (8 kg) and comes in one box measuring 27" x 25" x 38" (69 x 64 x 97 cm).
