Oh! you should definitely check out this site.

You can print you own custom fabric. So far I've just reupholstered a stool with my own design...but it's very cool and unique to have your own art on your furniture.

There are some nice fabric designs there but I think i'm going with dark brown leather.

just a plain leather? Not too creative, i'm affraid.. But U may think about customizing leather. I used to mark different leather items with hand-made metal stamps:)

Beautiful chair.

Actually, to go with the metal, I'd do black leather. Or if you need more of a splash, a deep, rich burgundy. Good luck either way!

very dark colors like black would go well with the metal but since black is a bit "boring" I would go for some dark red colors - burgundy is nice, maroon, rosewood too.
Plus, don't forget that red is a stimulating color - energizing, exciting and motivating. So if you use the chair for work, rather than resting on it, go for red :)

Thanks for the post. I had no idea there were places to make your own prints in fabrics. It's great! I can fill my house with upholstered own designs. Thank you very much!

Sad to say but it would be lovely in just white, I know it's boring but white furnitures are pretty popular as it let the room lit up more and be brighter, more spacious. However, why stick to one color? From what I can see there is some fabric on the armrest as well, which I really like about the design, perhaps having a base color and then go crazy at the arms. Overall I really love the bottom part of the chair.

What about a two-tone scheme. Kind of like a sports car- thinking Italian like Lamborghini. The lines on the chair are angular suggesting motion and the caster arms are all in a simple curve but smooth enough design to illicit some feeling of aerodynamics. Maybe a little on the retro aerodynamics but still it could work. Perhaps a black/yellow or red/white. An embroidered logo would be a nice touch. I love embossed designs on leather but if you go slick and fast...stick with embroidery- to me an embossed design would work against it. Now you got me looking at my boring desk chair and wondering....hmmmm.
