The Chesterfield office chair
For more than two centuries, the Chesterfield office chair has been the choice of professionals seeking both comfort and authority. Its deep cushioning and refined leather ease the demands of the working day, while its silhouette carries an unmistakable sense of tradition. Available in four distinct designs, each chair reflects the craft and considered detail that define Fleming Howland.
The Duke. The Earl. The Captain. The Lord. Four bold and elegant designs shaped and hand crafted by the experience and craftsmanship Fleming Howland has perfected since 1780. Luxurious, bold and beautifully made, each chair can offer a point of contrast to a contemporary workspace or add a fitting statement to a more traditional office.
Colour is handmade
It’s texture and colour that really sets these chairs apart. Using a process unique to Fleming Howland, dye is massaged by hand into leather hides to add colour and celebrate the unique characteristics of each different hide. The result is a range of brilliant colours, from classic and understated to striking and vibrant.
Made with love
There’s a little bit of our heart in every chair that we make. Our Chesterfield office chairs are crafted by hand, made in England by a dedicated master upholsterer. Every detail is considered and perfected, from the robust yet elegant frames to the wooden spindles and hand-stitched leather.
Positive Luxury
Respect for tradition and the natural environment are fundamental to the way we make our furniture. As we source 90% of our materials locally and build almost every detail by hand, we can limit our emissions whilst maintaining impeccable build quality. Every piece of wood used to make our chairs has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
