Aviator Industrial Leather Armchair

Part armchair, part library. The Aviator Industrial Aluminum Armchair wraps a riveted, hand-polished metal shell around worn, vintage-style leather seating — and builds a working bookcase right into each armrest.

It's a statement piece that also earns its keep, giving you a place to sit and a place to keep the books, magazines, or objects you actually want within reach.

The Design Story

Multi-panel aluminum with exposed steel rivets echoes the patchwork skin of vintage fighter planes, while recessed metallic handles on the front panels add another layer of mechanical, aerospace-inspired detail. Every panel is hand-fitted and riveted on all sides, giving each chair its own subtle character.

Built for Comfort, Not Just Looks

Deep-seated cushions in worn, vintage-style leather bring a lived-in, comfortable feel that balances out the industrial shell. And unlike a standard club chair, the built-in side shelving means it's genuinely functional — not just something to look at.
