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.

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).
