The Tobin Chair from Four Hands is a low, deep lounge chair wrapped in Mongolian sheepskin. A cantilever-like wooden frame holds it just off the floor, and a webbed suspension seat sits beneath loose seat and back cushions filled with a blend of feathers, foam and fiber. The cushion casings come off, and the sheepskin is a natural material, so pile density and tone shift a little from one chair to the next.
The silhouette is sculptural and slightly retro, closer to a 1970s conversation-pit chair than a traditional armchair. The shaggy surface reads soft against the clean line of the wood frame, which makes it a good partner for leather, boucle, travertine or aged brass. It holds its own as the one loud piece in a quiet room, and it sits comfortably among other bold objects too.
Give it a corner of the living room by a window, or pull it up to a bookcase for long afternoons with a novel. The sling seat gives a little under you, so it suits lingering more than perching. Vacuum or brush the fur lightly to keep it fresh.

Found Honestly.
Edited Relentlessly.
We don't buy objects just to fill shelves. We look for pieces that possess a soul; objects that have survived trends and remained essential.
This collection is the result of 20 years of following our gut. Each piece is hand-inspected by Matt and the team in Cincinnati to ensure it meets our standard of permanent beauty.
FAQ
If you have a question that isn't here, just ask. That's what we're here for.
Sofas and sectionals, swivel chairs, lounge chairs and recliners, dining tables and dining chairs, coffee tables, ottomans, stools and rugs. Online, most of it comes from Four Hands, with Bernhardt, Noir, Uttermost and Doing Goods alongside.
Yes. More than 200 Four Hands pieces are online, from the Kent sofa by Amber Lewis to the Idella extension dining table. Many listings come in several fabrics, leathers or sizes, like the Augustine in seven covers. Call 513.723.1901 to ask what's on the floor before you come in.
Check the seat depth, not just the overall depth. Bernhardt's Albion has a 26-inch seat in a 41.5-inch-deep frame, which suits people who sit back and stay there. Shorter seats suit people who sit upright. Sit in it for five minutes before deciding.
Size it to the room first, then to the chairs. Leave about 36 inches between the table edge and the wall so chairs can pull out. An extension table like the Idella adds two leaves when you need them. Our journal guide to dining table seating capacity covers the counts by size.
On some pieces, yes. The Kent sofa's price changes with the fabric you choose, so call 513.723.1901 or come in to see swatches. The Colven banquette comes in a cream performance fabric of polyester, acrylic and flax, and the Augustine swivel chair has a Crypton fabric option.
Furniture is what we carry, online and on the floor. The design studio plans whole rooms and houses, from the furniture to the lighting and finishes. If you need one piece, start here, and if you need a whole room, call the studio.
No, we don't carry mattresses. For the bedroom, our design studio can plan the furniture around the bed you already have.

We're open every day but Tuesday, 10am to 6pm, with Sunday hours of 11am to 4pm. Parking is available.
