Vintage Sofa Company Elston Chair in Hunting Lodge Harris Tweed Fabric and Leather

Designed for rooms that need one chair with character rather than bulk, the Elston takes familiar British upholstery details and pares them back into a more compact form. Its footprint is easier to place than a larger armchair, but the combination of tweed, leather and buttoning still gives it enough presence to feel properly considered.

Hunting Lodge Harris Tweed brings much of that character. Used across the seat and outer sections, it adds a subtle herringbone texture and a softer, more grounded surface than a plain woven fabric. At closer range, that texture becomes a real part of the chair’s appeal, giving it a quieter kind of detail that suits calmer interiors.

Tan leather across the high back and rolled arms changes the look in a different way. It sharpens the outline of the chair, adds warmth against the tweed and gives the upper section more definition than an all-fabric design would have. Deep buttoning across the leather back reinforces that effect, adding structure and helping the Elston feel more resolved as an upholstery piece rather than a simple accent chair.

Made by Vintage Sofa Company, this is a chair that works particularly well in bedrooms, reading corners, studies and smaller sitting areas where a larger armchair would feel too dominant. Tapered wooden legs keep the base light, while the overall shape brings enough finish and substance to make the chair feel useful as well as decorative.
