Love: Hair on Hide

About a hundred years ago, I came across a design book that featured Hollywood homes - I was maybe ten - and one picture has stuck with me all this time. It was a cavern of a room with multiple groupings; at one end were two french carved-arm, accent chairs with the outside backs covered in white hide with just a couple brown spots on them...it registered as stunning then and still does. I have yet to see it done as well, but here are a few ideas that come close...and luckily, there are some fabulous faux hides to choose from, too.

Wouldn't these be great as Host and Hostess dining chairs

Could go in any room


Just did two of these to tuck under a glass cocktail table for extra seating in a small room
