Lark Manor™

This 31.5" tall by 24" deep and wide option combines several African chair patterns to create a stylish animal-print patchwork of zebra and large cats. It rests on square legs with a 17.5" H seat supporting 350 pounds.

Designer Advice:

Patchwork designs can be an excellent way to enjoy multiple African patterns on one piece of furniture. Having different prints gives you a broader range of possibilities for decor accents and greater versatility on compatible designs. Tone it down with neutral pieces and a simple rug, or enhance the vibrancy of the patterns with bright colors.

Designer Advice:

A popular theme for African chairs is animal print upholstery. Some chairs will have authentic fur patterns and colors, while others may have more funky unnatural coloring and print size. Animal print African seats also come in many styles of frames, wood materials, and sizes. It can even vary by function, like dining or lounging.

African seats are the perfect accent to use for a modern boho fashion. But with the right design, you can make it work for all styles.

Designer Advice:

Some African seats have classic wood legs, while others have glamorous metal frames. You can get a powerful aesthetic with a metal frame in a metallic shiny gold finish. The shininess of the modern frame pairs nicely with the neutral black and white zebra print upholstery. And the open, airy style lends a transitional versatility that blends with any decor.

House of Hampton®

This seat has a traditional barrel shape with flared arms and a rounded back. The 20" D by 20" W by 17.5" H seat has a 350 weight limit. The bold orange and black tiger upholstery offsets tapered black legs.

Designer Advice:

Another way African chairs can differ in appearance and nuance is leg shape. Chair legs can vary by shape, material, color, and size. Tapered legs can be a versatile style that can work across various chair designs, from vintage to ultra-modern minimalistic. They can stand out as a point of visual interest or blend into the background for pure function.
