West Elm's Sculpted Metal and Leather Bowl Chair is Retro-Modern

This sculpted metal and leather bowl chair from home retailer West Elm is a modern take on an artisan design aesthetic. Refining a retro visual concept, the chair features a simplistic leather seat that is stretched over a hand-welded metal frame.

The frame's sunburst pattern and unique silhouette make the piece a focal point of any chosen space. The piece is a perfect addition to a masculine study, a rustic living room and an industrial loft space that is designed with open-concept planning.

West Elm's sculpted metal and leather bowl chair features a hand-welded iron frame and tan leather cover that appears aged for added effect. This furniture piece is rustic and refined, making it a great fit for both modern and traditional interiors.
