Small changes in seat height, depth and back angle alter comfort and silhouette. Across the collection, chairs range from low lounge forms and deep-buttoned Chesterfields to wingbacks, office and dining seating, each shaped around posture and use.

Reading calls for enclosure and support; dining favours an upright posture; desk seating must suit its working height. Traditional leather and lower fabric forms can share a room when their proportions and intended uses are considered together.
Colour Guide
A single chair can carry a bold colour; a dining set needs balance across the group. Leather adds definition, while softer fabrics reduce visual weight on larger forms within a room.
Discovery box
Similar colours can behave differently across dining and lounge seating. Compare leather, velvet, wool and mohair through the Discovery Box to assess texture and lustre, establishing a shared material reference for different chair types within one interior.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of chairs does Fleming Howland make?
The collection includes lounge and armchairs, Chesterfield chairs, wingbacks, office chairs, dining chairs and other occasional seating. The designs range from traditional deep buttoned forms to lower contemporary and Art Deco influenced silhouettes, with materials and colour available across different styles.
How do I choose a chair for a particular room?
Start with use and posture, then consider scale. A reading chair may need greater enclosure and depth, while dining or desk seating requires a more upright position. After that, assess height and silhouette against nearby furniture so the chair feels intentional within the room.
Do chairs in the same room need to match?
No. Variation often makes an interior more convincing. Chairs can differ in period, material or silhouette if there is a shared relationship in scale, colour or finish. Repeating every element can make a room feel like a furniture set rather than a composed interior.
Is leather suitable for every type of chair?
Leather is versatile and works especially well where structure, patina and durability are important. Softer fabrics may be preferable where a lighter visual effect or different tactile quality is required. The chair’s form and intended use should determine the material rather than a single rule.
Can Fleming Howland chairs be customised?
The chair collection is made to order, with colour, upholstery and selected design or dimensional details available to suit different spaces. This allows a chair to be considered alongside the architecture, existing furniture and the proportions of the person using it.
