Quilpo Leather Lounge Chair. Handcrafted Solid Wood Frame With Grass-Fed Cowhide Sling Seat

Quick note about tariffs & VAT: For US clients, I handle all export paperwork & tariffs, so what you pay at checkout covers everything. You won't face any unexpected duties or hidden costs when your piece arrives. For customers in other countries, no sales tax will be collected, but local VAT may be collected by DHL en route. It's a percentage collected on declared value, & not prohibitive. My aim is to make international shipping as smooth & transparent as possible, so you can focus on enjoying a handmade piece that will last for generations. The Quilpo Lounge Chair (pronounced: KIL-po) is an original design, hand crafted in solid wood & select Argentine saddle leather was selected to represent Etsy in the 2023 TV campaign see the spot here! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycNuvSDYBFM One continuous leather sling eliminates pressure points, & the frame gives just enough to help the leather spring back as you settle in. The chair's striking lines & finished suede back show well from any angle, but the most enjoyable perspective is from within: your hands on the silky finish of the polished hardwood frame, your body cradled in the dynamic support of the sling. The design is a bow to the European mid-century-modern masters while solidly couched in a Latin-American design tradition; dense & figured woods intersected by a generous sling of tanned full-grain leather. Its curvilinear members meet, press & pull against each other at the service of the seated, it's a pleasure to relax in & only gets better with age. The Quilpo Lounge Chair's wedged tusk tenon joinery is beautiful, & easy to assemble (a link to a how-to video is included). This fascinating joint is one of the oldest known woodworking techniques. It's a classic to both eastern & western schools of construction; examples have been found sealed for thousands of years in Egyptian tombs as well as other ancient structures from around the world. Thanks to these joints, the chair is solid, yet surprisingly light & easily moved, shipped, & maneuvered through hallways & doors. Each chair is hand signed & numbered, & I stock them in Zoita wood, a dense & heavy hardwood. The Zoita is honey-colored & stunning in a hand-rubbed oil finish. I also offer a matching ottoman, everyone loves to kick up their heels! (see my other listings) I flat-pack the Quilpo Lounge Chair for shipping via DHL in a custom built wooden crate. in the unlikely event that something is damaged in shipping, I'll replace it right away.
