Bespoke Craftsmanship

The excellence of handmade furniture, designed around you

At My Club Chair, bespoke craftsmanship is not an option — it is part of our DNA.

Every armchair and every sofa is made to order in our workshop, tailored to your preferences, your lifestyle and your comfort requirements.

We preserve the traditional craftsmanship of the sheepskin leather Club Chair while offering an exceptional level of customization, reserved for true artisan workshops.

A chair that adapts to you — not the other way around

Because a genuine Club Chair should be as comfortable as it is beautiful, we allow you to create your ideal piece down to the smallest detail:

Custom Dimensions

Width, depth, seat height or backrest height: we adapt the proportions to your space and your comfort requirements.
Personalized Comfort

Soft, balanced or firm seating, Nosag or coil springs, foam density: every aspect of comfort is adjusted to your preferences.
Your Choice of Sheepskin Leather

Full-grain vegetable-tanned leather sourced from the renowned tanneries of Mazamet, France. Custom colour matching, rich tones, hand-applied patinas and exclusive vintage finishes.

Vegetable Tanning

The soul of leather, the nobility of time

At My Club Chair, leather is more than a material: it is a living substance, rich in history and crafted to endure for decades. That is why we have chosen the demanding path of vegetable tanning, an ancestral process that reveals the full nobility of sheepskin leather.

An Ancient and Natural Craft

Vegetable tanning is the oldest method of transforming hides into leather. It relies exclusively on natural tannins extracted from bark, roots and wood (oak, chestnut, mimosa and others).

Unlike fast industrial processes, vegetable tanning takes time. A great deal of time. And it is precisely this time that makes all the difference.

Each hide is slowly infused with these natural tannins, without chromium or harsh chemicals. The leather therefore retains its structure, suppleness and authenticity.

A Living Leather That Ages Gracefully

Vegetable-tanned leather does not hide its nature.

It evolves, breathes and transforms over the years. Light, touch and daily use create a unique patina—deep, warm and impossible to reproduce artificially.

A vegetable-tanned leather Club Chair tells a story:
your story.

Unmatched Qualities

Choosing vegetable tanning means choosing leather that is:

Natural and responsible, respectful of both people and the environment
Breathable, comfortable in both summer and winter
Durable, capable of lasting for generations
Ideal for developing patina, custom colour matching and vintage finishes
Repairable and restorable, without losing its character

It is the leather of exceptional furniture—pieces that are kept, cherished and passed on.

The Choice of Excellence for Our Club Chairs

All of our Club Chairs, sofas and bespoke creations are crafted from vegetable-tanned sheepskin leather, selected for its refined grain and its ability to become even more beautiful with time.

This demanding choice reflects our philosophy: 👉 creating authentic, elegant and timeless furniture, far removed from passing trends.

An Exceptional Material for Unique Pieces

Vegetable tanning does not standardize. It reveals.

Every hide has its own nuances, natural markings and character. It is this individuality that makes each piece truly unique.

At My Club Chair, we believe that true luxury lies in the material, the craftsmanship and the time invested in its creation.

Vegetable tanning is its purest expression.

Solid Beech Wood Frame: The Backbone of Our Club Chairs

At My Club Chair, we often talk about leather, patina and vegetable tanning… but the true “skeleton” of your chair—the element that determines how well it stands the test of time—is its frame. And ours is crafted from solid beech wood: a demanding choice made for lasting durability.

Why Solid Beech Wood?

Beech wood is dense, uniform and naturally strong. It has long been one of the preferred materials in fine furniture making and high-end cabinetry because it withstands with ease:

the demands of everyday life (repeated use, movement, intensive seating),
the weight and tension generated by the upholstery and suspension system,
the passing of time, without weakening or warping.

The result is a chair that remains stable, retains its shape, and preserves its elegant silhouette for years to come.

Stability You Can Feel… and Hear

A properly assembled solid beech wood frame means:

fewer creaks and squeaks,
less movement in the armrests and joints,
a more supportive and reassuring seat, with a solid and dependable feel.

In short, the moment you sit down, you can tell that it is built to last.

Tailored Comfort: Your Club Chair, Exactly the Way You Like It

At My Club Chair, comfort is not a standard option. It is a choice. Because a Club Chair is not simply something you look at: it is a place to relax, unwind and spend time—sometimes for hours on end. With our Tailored Comfort approach, you can personalize the seating experience to suit your body, your habits and the way you enjoy your living space.

Three Comfort Levels, One Goal: Your Enjoyment

Depending on how you intend to use your chair—reading, relaxing, entertaining or simply unwinding—we offer different seating sensations:

Soft Comfort: plush and welcoming, with an enveloping feel that invites you to sink in and relax.
Balanced Comfort: the best of both worlds, combining support with softness from the very first moment you sit down.
Firm Comfort: a more supportive feel with a straighter posture, ideal if you prefer a structured seat.

Our objective is simple: to make your chair comfortable for you, not for everyone else.

Comfort Designed to Last

True luxury is comfort that does not lose its shape over time. Our padding materials and upholstery techniques are designed to preserve support, structure and visual harmony year after year.

The result is lasting comfort, a seat that retains its character, and a chair that ages gracefully.

Comfort Adapted to Your Lifestyle

Looking for a cosy chair for evenings by the fire? A firmer seat for conversation without sinking in? A versatile compromise for the whole family? We help you find the ideal balance according to:

your body shape and build,
your preferred sitting position (relaxation, reading or upright posture),
how frequently the chair will be used,
and the type of comfort you enjoy most (welcoming versus supportive).

Comfort Tailored Down to the Smallest Detail

Tailored Comfort is also about refinement: seat depth, seat height, backrest feel and overall support. Every adjustment matters in achieving that little “ahhh” moment when you sit down—the moment that makes you never want to get up.

My Club Chair combines the spirit of the authentic Club Chair with modern comfort, carefully chosen and expertly crafted. Because a beautiful chair is good. A chair that is perfectly comfortable for you is even better.

Custom Patina: The Signature of Your Club Chair

A beautiful patina is that special touch that makes a chair truly unique. At My Club Chair, custom patina is not simply a colour effect: it is a meticulous handcrafted process, carried out by hand to give your Club Chair a distinct soul, depth and character unlike any other.

A Living Colour, Never Flat

Unlike a uniform finish, patina works with tones, shadows and highlights. It enhances:

the chair’s contours and volumes (armrests, backrest and seat),
the stitching and fine details,
the natural grain and texture of the leather.

The result is a warm, elegant finish with a refined vintage character—never artificial, never overdone.

A Bespoke Finish Designed for Your Interior

You choose the atmosphere, and we create the patina:

Light Patina: subtle, luminous and highly natural
Vintage Patina: deeper contrasts with an authentic Club Chair character
Rich Patina: more pronounced, bold in character, with a true gentleman’s club spirit

Available shades include Honey, Havana, Cognac, Chocolate, Black, Red, English Green, and many more. If you have a specific vision in mind, we can create a custom colour match based on your sample to perfectly complement your interior design project.

The Artisan Touch That Makes the Difference

Each patina is created through several stages (preparation, colouring, shading, effects and protection), with one objective: to achieve a result that is harmonious, durable and perfectly aligned with the spirit of the chosen model.

It is a finishing craft that requires time, experience, attention to detail and a true artisan’s eye.

Your Chair, Your Character

Custom patina is the perfect choice if you want:

a chair that blends seamlessly into your interior,
a statement piece that attracts attention without overwhelming the room,
a truly personal and distinctive aesthetic signature.

Because a Club Chair is already a classic. With a custom patina, it becomes uniquely yours.

Custom Colour Matching: Your Shade, Exactly as You Imagine It

Looking for a rich warm cognac, a deep English green, an almost-black chocolate brown, or a shade that perfectly matches your flooring, curtains or an existing armchair? At My Club Chair, we offer a Custom Colour Matching service, designed to achieve the exact shade you have in mind—not simply the closest available option.

A Unique Colour for a Unique Piece

Every interior has its own light, materials and contrasts. A standard colour can sometimes feel slightly off—too red, too cool, too light. With our Custom Colour Matching service, we carefully refine the shade so that it blends perfectly with your interior, whether your style is classic, Art Deco, contemporary or distinctly vintage.

How Does It Work?

You provide a reference: a fabric sample, a photograph taken in natural light, a RAL colour reference (if required), or simply the inspiration you wish to achieve.
We prepare colour tests: working directly on leather, adjusting pigments and colour depth until the desired result is achieved.
Approval before production: you validate the direction (more honey, more Havana, darker, smokier, richer, etc.).
Handcrafted application in our workshop: the final colour is then applied using the artisanal techniques that define the My Club Chair signature.

The Result: Rich, Natural and Built to Last

The beauty of a custom colour lies in its character. When applied to premium-quality leather, the result is a finish that feels richly nuanced, warm and full of depth.

And if you appreciate distinctive finishes, this foundation can be further enhanced with a custom patina—aged effects, subtle contrasts, shading, Art Deco inspiration or a true vintage Club Chair spirit.

Available Across Our Collections

This service is available on our Club Chairs, Club Sofas, Chesterfields, Footstools and bespoke projects. Whether you are looking for a signature colour or perfect harmony with your existing interior, we will help you achieve a result that is coherent, elegant and timeless.

Already have a colour in mind? Tell us about your project. We will guide you through the possibilities—lighter, deeper, richer or more heavily patinated—and together we will create the colour that makes all the difference.

Personalize Your Chair: Colour, Patina and Style

Custom Colour Matching

Do you have a specific vision in mind? A wall colour, a rug, a bookcase, or an existing leather piece? We can tailor the shade to perfectly complement your interior: from luminous honey tones to deep Havana, from warm cognac to rich chocolate brown… and even more distinctive colours for truly unique projects.

Custom Patina

Looking for a vintage finish, an Art Deco-inspired look, or leather with greater depth and character? Our custom patina can create:

an elegant aged effect,
rich tonal variations and depth,
a distinctive character that is never uniform.

The result: a chair that already feels as though it has a story—and you are the one who writes it.

Comfort Can Be Personalized Too

Because a Club Chair should be beautiful and irresistibly comfortable every day, you can choose the seating feel that suits you best:

Soft (plush and welcoming),
Medium (the perfect balance),
Firm (supportive and structured).

The goal is simple: to create your comfort, tailored to your build and the way you use your chair (reading, living room, office, fireside relaxation, and more).

A Chair Designed Around You: Dimensions, Proportions and Options

Looking for a deeper seat, a taller backrest or more enveloping armrests? Customization can go much further than colour alone:

adjustment of dimensions,
adaptation of proportions,
selection of feet and overall styling,
coordination with a sofa, footstool or matching pair of chairs.

The Luxury of Bespoke Craftsmanship, Without Compromise

Finishing details and customization are what transform a beautiful chair into the perfect chair: one that feels completely at home in your interior and truly reflects your personality.

👉 Have an idea, inspiration, colour requirement or space constraint? Tell us about your project, and we will guide you toward the ideal finish and the most appropriate level of customization.

Our Brand “Moustache 1962”

Moustache 1962 is the boldest and most expressive signature of My Club Chair. A brand born from a deliberate nod to the masculine elegance of the 1920s and 1930s—the golden age of gentlemen’s clubs, intimate cocktail bars and interiors where patinated leather already told a story.

The moustache, an iconic symbol of that era, represents a way of life: one defined by character, confidence and an appreciation for enduring craftsmanship. 1962 is our anchor. A founding date, a generational landmark and a tribute to artisan traditions and the appreciation of beautifully crafted objects.

With Moustache 1962, we embrace a more expressive interpretation of the Club Chair. Bolder lines, generous proportions and distinctive finishes that dare to stand out, while remaining faithful to the spirit of the traditional Club Chair. Each model is conceived as a statement piece, designed to bring elegance and presence to a living room, office or reception space.

Moustache 1962 armchairs and sofas are crafted to the same exacting standards as the rest of our collection:

solid wood frames,
full-grain vegetable-tanned sheepskin leather,
traditional handcrafted production,
rich, vibrant patinas with intentional tonal variations.

Here, leather is not about flawless uniformity—it is about soul. Natural creases, subtle colour variations and the evolution of the patina are all part of the design. Every piece is unique, like a personal signature.

Moustache 1962 is where tradition meets controlled irreverence. A brand for those who appreciate furniture with depth, character and personality. A collection created for lovers of authentic craftsmanship, exceptional materials and timeless pieces that grow more beautiful with age.

The Moustache 1962 hallmark is discreetly embossed into the leather of every chair we create, a symbol of authenticity and craftsmanship.
