Craftsmanship

Tailored Frame, Built to Last

The Santa Fe Wood Exposed Arm Chair is a striking blend of rugged artistry and refined craftsmanship, rooted in Western tradition. Each frame is handcrafted in Texas from solid alder wood, selected for its strength, stability, and rich character. The fully exposed wood frame features graceful curves and organic shaping that celebrate the natural beauty of the material, while adding structural durability and visual warmth.

An arched top rail gives the high back a regal silhouette, balancing classic form with bold Western attitude. The gently curved arms and cabriole-style legs are carved and sanded by hand, giving the frame its signature flow and character. Hand-applied nailhead trim outlines the seat and back for a polished, tailored finish.

Offered in both standard and custom sizing, the Santa Fe is designed for versatility—whether as a dining head chair, accent piece, or statement seat. Its fully customizable upholstery allows you to choose from a wide array of leathers and hair-on-hides, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your personal style.

Design & Craftsmanship Highlights:

Handcrafted in Texas using solid alder wood for strength and heirloom quality.
Distinctive exposed wood frame with flowing curves and rustic elegance.
Arched top backrest enhances the chair’s stately, Western-inspired profile.
Sculpted arms and cabriole-style legs shaped and smoothed by hand.
Hand-set nailhead trim for a tailored, detailed edge.
Available in custom sizing for dining, living, or entryway use.
Choose from a curated selection of premium leathers and hides to create your own look.

Whether styled around a grand dining table or as a bold standalone accent, the Santa Fe Chair commands attention with every hand-carved detail.

Materials

Sycamore Full-Grain Buffalo Leather

Sycamore is a premium full-grain buffalo leather prized for its rich character and naturally soft hand. Tanned in India by master artisans using time-honored methods, this leather features a smooth waxed surface and a deep aniline finish that enhances the hide’s natural grain and subtle pull-up effect.

The result is a luxurious leather with elegant depth, a gentle sheen, and a patina that becomes more beautiful with age. Ideal for custom Western furniture, Sycamore brings both comfort and sophistication to any design.

Leather Characteristics

Grain Type: Full-Grain Buffalo
Tannage: Chrome
Finish: Waxed Aniline
Origin: India
Feel: Supple, Soft-Handed
Color: Sycamore – a cool, chocolate brown with a rich, earthy undertone

Buffalo Hair on Hide

Buffalo Hair-on-Hide offers a naturally coarse, thicker texture and bold grain that sets it apart from traditional cowhide. Known for its rich depth and durability, each hide features a dramatic pattern with high contrast and dynamic flow—ranging from deep espresso browns to jet black. This distinctive material brings untamed character to Western or rustic-luxe furniture, offering both strength and style. Ideal for statement chairs, ottomans, or accent panels, buffalo hide adds a grounded, masculine edge to any space. No two hides are exactly alike, ensuring every piece is unique.
