Leather Directors Chairs

Buying Guide

When thinking of the words “director chairs” you might envision Woody Allen with his dark glasses and a big megaphone, sitting in one of those folding chairs with the words “director” across the back. But a director’s chair can be much more than that. Imagine for a minute a long table with a gathering of people in conservative business suits sitting on either side and an imposing (but still empty) leather chair at the head of the table. In front of that chair is a little placard that reads “Director.” In between these two extremes, there are a lot of levels of interpretation possible for the words “director chair.”

The Movie Director’s Chair

While you might think of a movie director’s chair as being worn canvas with the word “director” across the back having become a little shabby with use, it could be a posh folding chair made of golden bamboo, with a leather sling seat. Just because a chair folds doesn’t mean that it can’t be comfortable or even a little pretentious. Consider also the KingCamp Director chair. This baby’s frame is metal, and the seat could easily be made from leather. It will support up to 300 pounds, which is impressive for a folding chair.

The Papasan Chair

If you expand the term director to anyone who directs, then “Papasan” becomes a synonym for director. The term comes from the Philippines and might be influenced by Japanese. “Papa” means father, and Papasan means a father or a man in a position of authority. (You can also have a Mamasan – but that’s another story.) A Papasan chair, sometimes called a bowl chair or a moon chair, is a round wicker bowl form that sits on a pedestal. It is cushioned with a large tufted cushion, which can be made of leather.

Seats for the Board of Directors

Here is where you have your imposing leather director’s chairs, especially the one for the chairman of the board. Designed to sustain participants through hours of debate or consideration, but also created to impose, these chairs are imposing, comfortable and impressive. They encourage correct posture while providing a soft landing place for those who have been carrying out the paper-pusher’s battle for hours before arriving at an all-important meeting. A few director’s chairs are also recliners. You are likely to find that sort of director chair in a private office where the exec who usually occupies it might need to catch a power nap between meetings and other duties.

Leather needs to be cared for properly to get the best use of it. Usually, all that needs to be done to clean an office chair is to wipe it gently with a soft cloth and vacuum the dust out of the corners. Once every six to twelve months, it should be cleaned with a leather cleaner and allowed to dry before its next use. Leather is an amazing material – durable, soft and beautiful. Often a side-product of the food trade, chairs made from it are likely to last a good, long while.
