Fired Up

Designed to last for generations, Itasca’s leather firewood carrier is as gorgeous as it is sturdy. Made with a thick oil-tanned hide, the color of the carrier changes with use, making it one of the few things that get better with age. Leaf Firewood Carrier, $194, itascamoccasin.com

Take a Seat

The butterfly chair is authentically Argentine — its inventive design and notable craftsmanship have made it an iconic symbol of modern design. Add vegetable tanned saddle leather, and you’ve got a chair fit for a king. Palermo Chair, $650, the-citizenry.com

Rug It Out

Cowhide rugs have become a mainstay in the design world, and for good reason: They can soften an otherwise modern room or add a dose of ruggedness to more luxe spaces. Bonus: Cowhide is naturally stain-resistant, making it perfect for high-traffic areas. Black and White Natural Cowhide Rug, price on request, texasleathergoods.com
