Traditional Craftsmanship
Better Leather
The Miller Lounge Chair and Ottoman is a proud example of traditional craftsmanship. A professional saddlemaker creates the seat from 4-mm South German leather of the highest quality. Tanned over the course of 8 to 12 weeks, the leather is then dyed with metal-free pigments to produce our black, cognac, and brown options. The natural option is not dyed, so it will darken with age—it is also squeakier when used than the dyed options. All leathers are finished with natural waxes and oils.
Homage to the Butterfly
The idea for Miller originated when Christoph Seyferth was repairing a classic of French design: Pierre Paulin’s leather “butterfly” chair. Seyferth found Paulin’s chair “astonishingly very comfortable” and set out to create a modern update.
Christoph Seyferth
Christoph Seyferth eschews the belief that good design must come from big egos. His products are humane and functional, designed for everyday use. Seyferth’s diverse background spans fine arts, carpentry, architecture, and interior design, as well as furniture design. He has done everything from build his own house to design eyewear for Adidas. Seyferth’s work has a certain timeless quality, referencing the integrity of thoughtful craftsmanship and celebrating the essence of pure materials like wood, leather, and steel.
“I don’t design practical stuff to be beautiful. Elegant design is natural and unpretentious, something that feels right without shouting for attention.”
Christoph Seyferth
