OF THE MOMENT: THE LEATHER SLING CHAIR

This chair. The Spanish Chair by Borge Mogesen. This iconic Danish design by Borge Mogensen from 1959 has inspired many interior designers with its mix of oak and leather and simple, functional design. Lately the sling chair design has influenced furniture designers, and a spawn of new versions has hit the market. A pair of vintage Leather Sling Chairs caught my eye when they were used by Nickey Kehoe in the Goop Pop Up in Brentwood Country Mart. Aged and lived in, the chairs looked comfortable and cool, and added a warm modern moment to a seating area.

Anthropologie's Leather Sling Chair has a relaxed sit with a slightly reclined back. It is made with a Sheesham wood frame that has natural graining, and scallop detailing on the sides allow for a comfortable sit.
