Description
The Jeffrey Bernett Metropolitan Reproduction Armchair brings a recognised design reference into a premium, showroom-ready furniture piece. Created as a Reproduction reference for the Metropolitan Armchair, it captures the proportions, silhouette and presence that make the original so enduring. This version is best noted as the armchair option in the range.
With its considered form and refined design language, this armchair is suited to living rooms, lounges, studios and boutique commercial spaces. It is an easy way to introduce collectible design character into a contemporary interior without sourcing an original vintage piece.
Design Notes
Jeffrey Bernett’s work often sits between contemporary comfort and restrained architectural form, with pieces that feel polished, practical and quietly sculptural.
This reproduction takes reference from that familiar seating language, offering the recognisable silhouette and visual character of the original reference in a made-to-order format for contemporary Australian interiors.

Upholstery Guide
Many of our pieces are available in a range of upholstery options, from practical everyday finishes to more premium leather and wool selections. Available options vary by product. Each material has a different look, feel and price point, so the right choice depends on how you want the piece to sit within your space.
PU Leather
A smooth, easy-care synthetic leather option with a clean finish. PU Leather is a practical entry-level choice for customers who want the look of leather without moving into premium leather pricing.
Cashmere
A soft woven fabric with a warm, tactile finish. Cashmere is a good choice for a softer, more relaxed look and works especially well on lounge chairs, sofas and sculptural upholstered pieces.
Microfibre Leather
A durable synthetic leather with a refined surface feel. Microfibre Leather offers a more elevated finish than standard PU Leather, with good everyday practicality and a clean, modern appearance.
Textured Danish Wool
A woven wool-style upholstery with visible texture and depth. This option gives the piece a more design-led, mid-century feel and works well when you want the upholstery to add character rather than sit flat.
Cashmere Danish Wool
A softer wool-style option with a more refined hand feel. Cashmere Danish Wool offers warmth, texture and a slightly more elevated finish, making it a strong choice for statement chairs and sofas.
Italian Corrected Leather
A genuine leather option with a more consistent, treated surface. Corrected leather is designed to offer a cleaner and more uniform appearance while still giving the piece the feel and presence of real leather.
Italian Aniline Leather
A premium genuine leather option with a softer, more natural finish. Aniline leather is known for its depth, character and natural variation, making each piece feel more individual. It is best suited to customers who appreciate a more authentic leather look and are comfortable with natural markings and patina over time.
Premium Waxed Leather
A rich, characterful leather finish with a waxed surface effect. Premium Waxed Leather has a more lived-in, tactile quality and may develop natural variation with use, making it ideal for customers who want a warmer, more vintage-inspired finish.
Please note that colours and textures may vary slightly between screens, production batches and lighting conditions. Swatches are intended as a guide only.
