CHAIR'S NAME: "Beau" is the founder's only nephew and Hollis Newton's master craftsman, Russell's son.

CARE: To clean leather, use a conditioner every 6-12 months and wipe up spills as they occur with a clean cloth. Avoid using normal cleaning supplies—like soaps, detergents, solvents, etc. which can discolour leather. If leather furniture is placed near a sunny window or heat source, accelerated drying may occur in which case you may want to condition every 3-4 months.
