Whiskey Axis Hide Desk Chair

Q: Will every Axis Hide Desk Chair have the same pattern?

No. Each authentic axis hair-on-hide carries natural variation, including the species’ characteristic dark center line and paired white markings. That gives every chair its own backbone line and mirrored spotting, not a mechanically repeated motif.

Q: Can the upholstery be customized for my office?

Yes. The chair is available to custom order with a broad selection of leathers and hides, allowing the upholstery to respond to existing wood finishes, color, and surrounding furnishings. The result can be a composition keyed to your room’s palette while retaining the chair’s Texas-made character.

The Runyon's Difference

Authentic axis hair-on-hide covers the inside back, placing a dark backbone flanked by mirrored white spots at the visual center of the chair. Its naturally individual pattern gives the piece uncommon identity among exotic office furnishings, making the back as consequential as the seat.

Will this chair fit my desk and provide the right working height?

The chair measures 27 inches wide by 26 inches deep, while its seat adjusts from 18 to 22 inches high for compatibility with a range of executive desks. An alder wood frame gives those proportions a substantial, well-bounded presence rather than an oversized silhouette.

How should I care for the whiskey leather and axis hide over time?

Keep the chair out of direct sunlight, blot spills immediately with a clean, dry absorbent cloth, and avoid household cleaners, DIY treatments, and general-purpose leather products. The oil- and wax-saturated aniline leather should be maintained with a product intended for unfinished leather, preserving a soft, medium-matte whiskey surface that develops slight patina; dust the hair-on-hide gently with a dry cloth, following the direction of the hair.

Does the chair work equally well in a home study and an executive office?

Yes. Its contemporary shape keeps the chair composed in a formal workplace, while nailhead trim and natural materials introduce Western character held to a clean line for a private study or thoughtfully furnished home office.

Can the upholstery be customized for my office?

Yes. The chair is available to custom order with a broad selection of leathers and hides, allowing the upholstery to respond to existing wood finishes, color, and surrounding furnishings. The result can be a composition keyed to your room’s palette while retaining the chair’s Texas-made character.

Materials

Waxy Tan Leather

This premium aniline leather is richly treated with natural oils and waxes to produce a rugged, semi-protected finish with subtle sheen and depth. Its signature darkened surface—often described as richly oiled or burnished—offers a supple, lived-in feel that only gets better with time.

Scratches, creases, and light use naturally enhance the leather’s character, creating a beautiful patina that deepens its visual richness. Durable yet soft to the touch, this leather is ideal for handcrafted seating, heirloom pieces, and rustic-luxe interiors that embrace natural aging and artisan materials.

Leather Characteristics:

Type: Full Aniline Leather
Effect: Wax & Oil-Treated with Patina Over Time
Color: Tan – a warm, medium-toned neutral with dark undertones
Feel: Soft, Semi-Protected Surface
Sheen Level: Medium Matte Gloss

Authentic Axis Hair on Hide

Axis is a genuine hair-on-hide chosen for its natural markings, rich texture, and luxurious feel. Each hide is carefully tanned to retain its organic beauty and preserve its unique patterning. Whether used in full panels or as an accent, this hide brings character, contrast, and Western elegance to any handcrafted piece.
