Leather Cantilever Chair with Armrests

Leather Cantilever Chair with Armrests – Buffalo Leather, Comfort & Handcrafting

Two things that matter at the dining table: sitting comfortably—and wanting to stay seated for a long time. A leather cantilever chair with armrests fulfills both. The springy frame adapts to every change in posture, the armrests provide lateral support for leaning on, and the buffalo leather cradles you instead of clinging to you. This is no coincidence, but rather the result of nearly a century of chair-making history.

Our cantilever chairs with armrests are crafted from genuine buffalo leather and are 100% handmade. Handmade in Germany, directly from the manufacturer.

Why the cantilever chair with armrests is the most comfortable dining chair

A leather cantilever chair with armrests combines three principles of comfort in a single piece of furniture.

The cantilever frame provides springy support. The continuous steel tube—without rear legs—gives slightly when you sit and adapts to every change in posture. Whether you lean forward, lean back, or shift your sitting position during a long dinner, the frame follows your movements. No resistance, no creaking—just a gentle spring-like effect that relieves pressure on your back.

The armrests provide support. On the cantilever leather chair with armrests, the armrests are integrated directly into the steel frame—so they flex along with the chair instead of forming a rigid structure. That’s the difference between a cantilever chair with leather armrests and a standard armchair: on the cantilever chair, the armrest gives way; on the classic chair, it doesn’t.

The buffalo leather breathes. It adapts to body heat, doesn’t stick to the skin, and develops a patina over time. As a leather cantilever chair with armrests made of buffalo leather, the chair remains comfortable against the skin and back even after hours of sitting.

Classic Leather Cantilever Chair with Armrests – The Bauhaus Legacy

The classic leather cantilever chair with armrests draws on a distinct design tradition. Mart Stam developed the cantilever principle in 1926; Marcel Breuer refined it at the Bauhaus—no rear legs, a continuous steel tube frame, and a spring-like effect when seated. The version with armrests followed shortly thereafter: the same mechanism, greater comfort, and a more striking presence.

Classics like the Thonet S 64 still embody this principle today—at prices starting at around €1,100. Our leather cantilever chairs with armrests are based on the same Bauhaus principle but use buffalo leather instead of nappa leather and are handcrafted in Germany. €399 per chair.

Leather Cantilever Chairs with Armrests – Style Worlds

Industrial: Cantilever chairs with armrests in cognac buffalo leather on a black square frame, paired with a solid wood table—warm natural leather meets a sturdy steel frame. This contrast embodies the industrial style in its purest form.

Scandi: Cantilever chairs with armrests in light gray leather at a light oak table—natural, minimalist, serene. The light gray buffalo leather adds warmth to the cool Scandi look.

Classic: Leather cantilever chairs with armrests in brown at a walnut dining table—timeless, grounded, enduring. Buffalo leather and dark wood speak the same design language.

Caring for Leather Cantilever Chairs with Armrests

• Daily: Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for the leather and frame
• 1–2 times a year: high-quality leather care product
• Liquids: Blot up immediately; do not rub
• Avoid direct sunlight: UV light causes all leather colors to fade
• Signs of wear: on buffalo leather, this is part of the patina—not damage
