When I think of American leather furniture it conjures up images of traditional sofa and recliner frames with a very mainstream look. Well American Leather, the high end manufacturer made right here in the good ole USA has their traditional offerings, but they are well versed in a modern and contemporary line of goods with an almost Italian look. Here are four leather recliners that caught my eye and sense of style, and I know how hard it is to find quality leather that looks and feels good. First the Clever has an angular look with separate waterfall ottoman and a unidirectional suspension system on a proprietary flex chrome base that offers a spring like effect, as if you were floating on air. Next the Odyssey and Melena recliners by veteran designer Rick Lee offer a pop up foot rest on an upholstered swivel base, and two variations of a loop style arm, one in all top grain leather and one with wood cap available in espresso or natural wood. The Fourth American-Leather recliner is the Antigo which rests on a ski type foot to help facilitate the motion of the glider mechanism. The Antigo also has a pop up foot rest with a really clean contemporary look, definitely not your grandmothers glider/recliner.
