Hello! Slowly designing our living room and stumped on what kind of accent chair to put in there since seated is limited to the sofa. I was thinking something smaller and lower to the group diagonal from the couch like a Barcelona chair? I could bring the sofa back a few inches to make more room. We are also thinking to replace our bar stools to ones that tuck underneath to make even more space.

Any thoughts help!

(Also, I know the TV is too high lol).

Took a trip to a Herman Miller dealer the other day and discussed the Eames Lounge Chair for a bit. I sat in two chairs: one with prone leather and one in MCL. The prone was surprisingly uncomfortable to me--I'm really surprised it's offered as a premium leather. The MCL was smooth and supple, but the dealer said it would be discontinued in August and was prone to scratching. I tested a swatch of 2100 series leather, and I found it quite soft and nice. I noticed that other types of leather exist via DWR, but the samples were not on hand at the dealer.

I'm curious what folks think is the best leather option. I definitely want something softer than prone, but durability is also helpful. And are other leather variations limited to DWR, or should they be accessible via a dealer?

Edited to add: I'm keen on oiled palisander, and I know that limits some leather options. I am flexible, though--if there's a leather that's leaps better than 2100 leather, I could downgrade from the oiled model.
