The Safari Reserve Zebra Leather Chair

Q: Is the striped upholstery genuine zebra hide?

Yes. Genuine zebra-patterned hair-on-hide covers the outer back, arms, and seat base, while dark brown full-grain leather forms the cushioned seating surfaces. Natural variation in stripe placement gives each chair an unrepeatable graphic signature.

Q: How should I care for the leather and zebra hair-on-hide over time?

Dust the full-grain pure aniline leather with a soft, dry cloth and use an aniline-appropriate conditioner sparingly; wipe the zebra surface gently in the direction of the hair with a clean cloth or low-suction brush attachment. Keep both away from sustained direct sunlight, heat, excess moisture, and household cleaners to preserve the leather's pull-up depth and the hide's clean striped nap.

Q: Can the chair be customized with my own exotic hide or different dimensions?

Yes. We offer custom upholstery using a client-provided exotic hide, allowing its individual markings to shape a chair with a pattern distinctly your own. Custom sizing is also available to suit the proportions of your room.

The Runyon's Difference

Genuine zebra hair-on-hide runs across the outer back, arms, and seat base, carrying natural pattern around the chair instead of confining it to a single panel. That continuous wrap creates an unbroken sweep of organic striping and gives the piece singular presence within an exotic furnishings collection.

Proudly handcrafted in Texas

How generous is the chair, and what does the seat feel like?

The chair measures 35 inches wide, 31 inches deep, and 42 inches high. Its 21-inch-deep seat with loose, overstuffed cushions creates a generous, settled sit without an oversized footprint; the seat height is 19.5 inches, with 22-inch-high arms and a 25-inch inside back.

How should I care for the leather and zebra hair-on-hide over time?

What kind of room and lifestyle suit this chair best?

It belongs in a living room, executive study, lodge great room, or primary-suite seating area where statement upholstery can be used and appreciated with measured care. The hand-carved solid wood frame, scroll arms, and cabriole legs give it a sculptural profile with Old World gravity, making it especially effective in rooms with enough visual space to let the silhouette register.
