Leather Reinvented: How to Incorporate Leather Furniture Into the Home
From fashion to automotive, nearly every design-driven industry has a longstanding love affair with one material: leather. And with good reason––leather is both strong and supple, lasting three times longer than its cloth counterparts, on average. Better yet, natural hides will only improve with age, developing a sophisticated, timeworn patina.
The interior design community has embraced stylish leather furniture with gusto, offering a range of must-have looks from tailored and timeless to sexy and sophisticated. Gabby leathers, sourced from around the globe, are top-grain, aniline-dyed hides of the highest quality. We embrace the unique characteristics of each hide, celebrating every subtle variation in shade, grain, and texture.

Designing with Stylish Leather Furniture
Our favorite Gabby leather living room furniture for every interior aesthetic.
Traditional Leather Furniture:
Tailored leather furniture works wonderfully in traditional homes. Play with symmetry by placing two Gable Wingback Chairs by the fireplace!
Modern Leather Furniture:
Sleek and stylish leather furniture can add essential warmth to modern spaces. Try the mid-century inspired Monroe Chair with tapered wooden legs, selecting a hide in high-contrast black, white or grey. We also love (faux) leather Hines Counter Stools in modern kitchens.
Transitional Leather Furniture:
When comfort is key, what’s more welcoming than a fabulous leather sofa? We suggest the Custom Tailored Abigail Sofa in classic black, brown or tan leather. If a glamorous leather accent is more your style, you might prefer the bronze Zane Side Table.
Bohemian Leather Furniture:
Eclectic interiors call for extra-special details like braiding and weaving. Consider the mixed-material Asher Dining Chair with leather binding, or go boho-chic with Gabby’s Custom Tailored Collection, selecting a bold leather shade like pink, green, or red.
