C0341B-1D Black Leather Chair with Steel Frame

The C0341B-1D is a black leather chair set inside an open cage of brushed steel — grid-tufted cushions floating within a frame built of straight, silvered lines. Among the collection's leather-and-metal chairs it is the polished one: cool metal instead of dark, black hide instead of tan, and a geometry so exact the chair reads as furniture and object at once.

Design & Character

The frame is composed like architecture in miniature — verticals and horizontals meeting in true right angles, wrapping the seat on all four sides, open below to keep the mass afloat. The leather inside answers with softness under discipline: a biscuit-tufted back and seat whose buttons pull the black hide into an even grid, echoing the frame's own geometry in cushion form. Line outside, grid inside — one language, two materials.

Materials & Finish

Deep black leather with a soft sheen takes the tufting cleanly, each panel swelling between its buttons; the steel wears a brushed silver finish that reflects light without mirroring it. The pairing is the point: where the collection's other metal chairs run warm and matte, this one runs cool and luminous — the chair for interiors that use metal as jewelry.

Made for the Polished Room

It suits the spaces that mix stone, glass, and light: a marble-floored living room, a glazed corner with plants, an executive study, a lobby with standards. As a pair flanking a console it becomes formal seating; single beside a travertine table it is the accent that sharpens everything around it. A dark throw over the frame — as it wears here — softens the geometry when the room wants ease.

Styling & Pairing

Match its metal deliberately: chrome and silver lamp stems, glass-topped tables, cool stone. Against the collection's warm timber it works as contrast — one cool note in a warm room — while in monochrome schemes it is entirely at home. Keep the leather bare of extra cushions; the tufting is the upholstery's ornament.

Why This Piece

Some chairs are bought for softness, some for structure; this one refuses the choice. It suits buyers with polished interiors and an eye for how metal finishes talk to each other. Brushed steel and tufted black are both surfaces that screens exaggerate or flatten — see the actual light on them at a showroom.
