Club Armchair Leather or Fabric Adapted to Contemporary Lifestyle

The club armchair, originally in leather, is a model of resilience to withstand the test of time.Created over a century ago, the club armchair has gracefully traversed history.Initially reserved for gentlemen's clubs or the European upper class, the club armchair is considered a break from period armchairs.More sumptuous, more comfortable, the club armchair is seen as a more masculine lounge chair, conducive to cigars and conversations over a glass of brandy.Maison Saulaie maintains this vintage lounge atmosphere by editing and reissuing traditional models while offering renewed designs (brown, black, white, red).

Due to their undeniable success and democratization, these leather club armchairs have been redesigned by Maison Saulaie to have a smaller footprint, making them better suited to space constraints in a living room.The dimensions of the backrest have been revised downwards to avoid cutting off the perspective of an apartment.A typical example of this design renewal is the aviator club armchair, which offers a seat just as comfortable with a lower backrest, reminiscent of a bucket seat or aviator armchair.

These designer armchairs are available in various colors such as brown, black, yellow, green, white, beige.The materials composing these armchairs like aluminum, wood, and leather allow them to be adapted to more modern interior decorations.Some models are offered in naturally aged leather to satisfy vintage style enthusiasts.

Maison Saulaie has also chosen to offer club armchairs with fabric and velvet upholstery to cater to diverse tastes.These fabric armchairs are available in various colors and shades such as Carnac beige, pine green, deep blue, light gray, mottled gray, dark gray, or gold yellow.

An Armchair with Natural Aged Leather and Customization

Whether of contemporary design or vintage design, the club armchair offered by Maison Saulaie follows a craftsmanship approach focused on strong quality criteria.Designed in a traditional assembly (mortise and tenon joints, frame in solid wood - solid beech or rubberwood), the vintage or modern style club armchair is a model of luxury artisanal quality.For example, the leather club armchairs are offered in full-grain cowhide leather or buffalo leather.These leathers are known for their quality, being both supple and thick, providing the club with original comfort.Padded with foam and complemented by goose feather cushions, the cushions combine the comfortable aspect sought in an armchair with the support aspect for the back.The leather color itself is a traditional craftsmanship color called aniline.Aniline leather is obtained through artisanal methods that respect the leather, the natural material, and the effects of the animal's life on it.Maison Saulaie does not plane or dip its leathers in chemical baths to obtain perfectly uniform or standardized skins.The hand-applied color does not cover the effects of time on the animal's skin, giving it that sought-after aged effect by our clients.

One of the particularities of the comfortable club armchair offered by Maison Saulaie lies in the number of leather colors available.Naturally, the brown leather club armchair is a timeless classic, but Maison Saulaie, attentive to adapting to its clientele's different styles, offers four shades of brown leather: deep brown, vintage brown, light brown, or cognac brown.This armchair is also available in a multitude of more classic or exotic colors for vibrant and original decorative touches: black leather, olive green leather, green-gray leather, navy blue leather, peacock blue leather, yellow, red, etc.Beyond all possible leather variations, we also offer a wide range of fabrics and velvet for a light and colorful decorative touch.

An Elegant Armchair with Numerous Wooden Variations

The club armchair leather has been famous since the early 20th-century French clubs, known for its rounded shape, with iconic models like the mustache club armchair or the so-called "policeman's hat" furniture.Maison Saulaie perpetuates this tradition of the comfortable club armchair by offering the armchair in numerous variations and styles.You can find the classic chesterfield armchair, as well as more modern and contemporary armchairs with Art Nouveau, Art Deco, or Scandinavian designs.All these designer armchairs are available in leather, fabric, or velvet.

Buying a Modern Armchair in Solid Wood

If you are nostalgic for traditional sailing races and fond of old sailing ships, recreate the old nautical atmosphere by furnishing your living room with a club armchair with a slatted backrest.This furniture finishing in waxed wood slats, reminiscent of the decks of old boats, combined with full-grain leather, gives a special patina to this brown armchair.The La Pérouse, Pirogue, and Cognac models have a simple design, inherited from the Art Deco years, making them suitable for smaller spaces.

Art Deco or Scandinavian Club Armchair

Maison Saulaie offers numerous armchairs with Scandinavian design that blend perfectly with your contemporary Scandinavian furniture.Available in fabric (beige) or leather (vintage brown, beige, or brown), all these armchairs are made of solid wood with a foam seat under the leather or fabric.Their craftsmanship follows a traditional line: if one stitch of the leather breaks, all the other stitches will remain intact.These armchairs are the result of impeccable quality craftsmanship and expertise!We have adopted a streamlined design for these Scandinavian armchairs to make them more elegant, slender, lighter, and easier to move, despite the solid wood used for their craftsmanship.Practicality is not overlooked in this range of luxury armchairs.These Scandinavian-inspired armchairs are less imposing than traditional club armchairs and can easily fit into your living space without taking up too much room.

Chesterfield Club Armchair

Among the iconic models of timeless club armchairs, the Chesterfield armchair is a model of timeless elegance.Available in aged full-grain leather with saddle stitching, the Chesterfield armchair or sofa is a button-tufted sofa with comfortable padding.Great care is taken in its craftsmanship, as it is an artisan upholsterer specialized in the Chesterfield who handles the buttoning of the armchair.Also, the buttons of this type of armchair are sewn with large needles before being securely attached to the solid wood frame of the armchair or sofa.It is available in several shades of brown, the flagship color, as well as other colors.

How to Choose a Club Armchair?

When choosing a club armchair, aesthetics often play a significant role.The multiple variations in terms of upholstery (leather, fabric, velvet, etc.), colors (black, brown, white, cream, green, blue, etc.), types (Chesterfield, Scandinavian, modern, cabriolet, etc.) make it a versatile product for all styles.However, it is also essential to consider comfort and the available space in your interior (living room, office, dining room, etc.).Criteria such as the height of the backrest, the width of the seat, the shaping of the armrests should be taken into account so that your club armchair becomes a life companion, not just a decorative object.Some models are even padded with goose feathers to ensure exceptional comfort.Make sure to inquire about the criteria of each product to make your choice and give full purpose to your future wooden club armchair: to welcome you daily.
