Seating for the Wild-Tempered: Saddle Bag Chair by Merkeled

Have you ever seen a chair with so many add-ons? The saddle Bag Chair comes from Portland-based studio Merkeled and has a unique, cowboy-ish appearance. According to the designers, the furniture piece “explores the juxtaposition and integration of manmade and handmade. The walnut ply fabricated using the precision of a CNC machine and the vegetable tanned leather handcrafted and molded using traditional techniques. The saddle bags come through the top of the seat and function as a housing for books, newspaper or magazines.’ Original and eye-catching, the Saddle Bag Chair could be a great addition to a slick contemporary living room, next to other minimalist wooden furniture elements. Its design can give the room an intriguing, wild and unconventional touch.
