Colour Guide
Fleming Howland Chesterfield sofas are made to order across a considered range of leathers, velvets and finishes. Hand-coloured leather retains the depth and variation associated with the traditional form, while monochrome hides and saturated velvets shift the Chesterfield into a more contemporary register. Fleming Howland’s hand-dyeing process works colour directly into the hide, allowing its natural character to remain visible. The Colour Guide explores how material and tone can alter the presence of a Chesterfield sofa within an interior.
Discovery Box

It includes the complete catalogue collection alongside hand-coloured, antiqued and saddle leathers, cotton and mohair velvets, wool, wood finishes and decorative nail options. Together, these samples allow colour, texture and finish to be considered against the form and upholstery of each design.
