Dining chairs take the most abuse - gravy, oily palms, dragged backs, hot dishes. We recolor, recondition and re-pad luxury leather - Poltrona Frau, Cassina, Fendi Casa, Minotti, B&B Italia - at home, one chair at a time. Flat foam? See cushion foam replacement.
Eight chairs around a table absorb meals, monsoons, twelve birthdays a year, and the slow polish of human use. The leather goes thin at the lip, dark at the back of the headrest, and pale where palms rest. We restore each one to the colour and feel it left the atelier with.
Photographed in studio · IndiaA Poltrona Frau Velluto or a Cassina 412 Cab is not built like a sofa. The hide is stretched tight over a narrow frame, so any crack, scuff, or colour-lift shows immediately. The leather is usually full-aniline or semi-aniline, which means pigmented patch jobs and cheap polishes destroy the surface in one application. We work the way the factory does , dye reduction, micro-pigment build, hand burnish , so the repair reads as patina, not paintwork.
Dining chairs also sit in the harshest spot in the house. Direct sun through the dining-room window fades aniline by 40% in three summers. Cleaning staff using Colin, baby wipes, or vinegar lifts pigment off pigmented finishes within months. Hot tava handles, ghee splash, turmeric, kadhai oil , every one of these is on our weekly bench. The fix is almost always at the surface; the frame and webbing are still good.
Tyson, our lead artisan, keeps brand-specific pigment trees for Frau, Cassina, Fendi Casa, B&B Italia, Minotti, Natuzzi Iconic, and Chesterfield aniline - never one colour kit for every brand. He mixes each chair against the original hide under three light sources, so the match is invisible because the chemistry is correct.

AtelierThe top edge of the backrest, where palms grip when chairs are pulled out, is the first to bald. We rebuild it with flexible filler and re-grain to match the surrounding panel.
Most luxury chair seats sag after 5-7 years. We refill with density-matched HR foam, retain the original cover, and re-tension the webbing in the same visit.
On-Site,Indian dining means turmeric, ghee, mustard oil, and red wine. We extract each one with the correct solvent for the hide finish , no Colin, no baby wipes, no panel-wide bleaching.
You do not have to restore the whole set. Many clients start with two captain chairs that get most of the use, then add others later as needed.
Frau Pelle SC is finished different from Cassina Aniline or Fendi Selleria. We hold the right pigment, conditioner, and topcoat for each , no generic furniture polish anywhere near your chair.
Each dining chair is finished in roughly two hours, in your home, with no transport risk. We work on a covered surface in your dining room or balcony.
Learn MoreWe confirm whether the chair is aniline, semi-aniline, pigmented, or coated, and check the original brand finish under daylight. This decides every product that touches the leather.

"Eight Poltrona Frau Velluto chairs, all scuffed from twenty years of dinners. They did two captain chairs first so we could see the result, then the rest the next weekend. Honestly invisible. Even the family noticed only because the leather felt newer."
"Our Cassina dining set had turmeric stains the maid had set in with Colin. I had given up. The team lifted every stain and recoloured only the affected panels. No reupholstery, no replacement. Cost a fraction of what the dealer quoted."
"Two Fendi Casa captain chairs with collapsed seat foam. They refilled the foam, re-tensioned the webbing, and refreshed the leather in the same visit. The chairs sit firmer than the day we bought them."
No workshop pickup, no transit damage, no week-long wait. Two captain chairs in a morning, the rest of the set the next weekend. Your dining room is never out of action for more than a few hours.
