Shinto Dining Chair - Natural

The Shinto Dining Chair is a quiet tribute to the traditional Japanese Torii gate—an architectural symbol of passage, balance, and presence. Its form encourages a moment of pause, inviting connection and conversation around the table.

The natural leather seat draws inspiration from kakishibu, a 13th-century Japanese dyeing practice that uses tannins from fermented persimmons to create warm, earthen tones. A quarter-inch-thick leather hide wraps the hand-crafted frame, designed to soften, patina, and mold gently over time—developing character much like the vintage pieces we return to again and again.

Paired with a curved backrest and a thoughtfully crafted wood frame, the Shinto Dining Chair offers lasting comfort and a restrained, sculptural presence. A piece made to be lived with, appreciated slowly, and passed down.

• Care (Leather): To care for the leather on the Shinto Dining Chair or Counter Stool, simply wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt or spills. Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaners, as these may damage the leather. If you wish to apply a sealant to the leather we recommend using Leather Hero, as it has been tested and recommended by our team for preserving the natural state of the leather while providing protection and developing a unique patina over time.
• 5 Year Warranty through House of Leon
• No Assembly Required
• Note: We use high-quality, full-grain vintage leather that is not treated with synthetic finishes. This allows the natural oils from your body to create a unique patina over time, sealing the leather in its own beautiful way. The look and feel of this slow forming patina cannot be replicated with synthetic finishes.
• We recommend avoiding direct exposure to sunlight. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading and discoloration. As most of our pieces use solid wood, prolonged exposure can cause the wood to dry out.
