Button-Tufted Leather Armchairs with Nailhead Trim

The brief

A traditional armchair with presence: deep tufting, rich leather and hand-finished detail.

What we built

Armchairs with a button-tufted back, leather seat and outside back, a tight line of brass nailheads along every edge, and carved cabriole legs.

Details

Close-set nailheads take longer to apply than spaced ones, but give the unbroken line you see here.
