Joe Industrial Accent Chair: Ribbed Faux Leather, Metal Frame, Wipe-Clean
By Furniture1001 min read
The Joe is the practical one among our accent chairs: ribbed faux leather over thick foam on a slim black metal frame, with a finish that wipes. It has the retro, slightly industrial look of a chair from a converted warehouse and none of the upkeep of the real thing.
What it is
An accent chair with plush ribbed seating on a sleek metal frame. The cover is faux leather with a subtle vintage finish, and the product page describes it as water-resistant, resisting spills and wear, with smooth surfaces that wipe. Underneath is thick, high-resilience foam described as moulding to your body.
Who it suits
A room where a fabric chair would be one spill away from a problem. A kitchen-diner, a hallway, a family living room, a home office with a coffee habit. The metal frame takes knocks and the cover takes a cloth, and the ribbed brown faux leather looks better with a bit of age rather than worse.
It also suits an industrial or mid-century scheme: black metal, exposed brick, warm wood.
Living with it
A damp cloth. Nothing else, which is the point.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Joe real leather?
No. It is faux leather with a subtle vintage finish, and the product page describes it as water-resistant. We say faux leather rather than leather so nobody expects hide.
What is the seating like?
Ribbed, so the seat and back are channelled rather than flat, over thick high-resilience foam that the page says moulds to your body.
Is it easy to clean?
That is its main practical advantage. The page describes spill-resistant, smooth-wipe surfaces. A damp cloth handles most things.
Where does it work best?
Anywhere fabric would be a worry: a kitchen-diner, a hallway, a room with children or pets, a home office. The metal frame and the wipe-clean cover suit hard use.
Does it come in other colours?
One finish, brown, which is the colour that suits the industrial look. For a wider colour choice in a similar shape, the Togo tufted chair comes in four.
