Chesterfield – Athenaeum

The Chesterfield sofa originated in 18th-century Britain, with its creation attributed to the Earl of Chesterfield. Featuring the now-iconic button detailing and leather finishes, the style became associated with luxury and sophistication in high society and has remained a design classic ever since. Printed onto our leather emboss, this design has a timeless tactile quality and realistic 3D effect. Chesterfield is part of our Athenaeum Collection – Defined as a meeting place for scholars and creatives, Athenaeum pays homage to those historic places of learning and celebrates the exchange of ideas and the pursuit of knowledge. This heritage-inspired collection, enhanced by elegant mylar accents and refined textures celebrates decadence and the natural world, with a contemporary twist. This collection features our new digital white print capabilities, which allow the mylar to be blocked out in areas of the design, creating subtle yet striking metallic highlights.
