Here is the culmination of an idea several years in the planning. In June 2018 I bagged a couple of zebra with Pawprint Safaris. A bit before that I had acquired these Scandinavian 50's furniture pieces.
Here they are, together at last.
 
Very nice looking! My parents had Danish Modern couch and chairs just like that!
That looks much nicer than my parents! I may need to get some more zebras and try that.
Is everything leather that isn’t the zebra skin?
 
I have a bunch of backskin's and hoping to do this, look's great
 
Very cool, looks good!
 
They look really good. Good idea.
 
Fantastic!! Great result!

I wish I could say it was. I screwed up there. I have a few moose hides tanned I could have used, but didn't. I had to make some fast decisions: the upholster who had taken on the work a couple of weeks before with the idea it would take months to get to, had a bad diagnosis. He was going to close shop by today. So I got talked into using a high quality vinyl (brown) which matched the zebra well. Didn't regret it till I picked it up a few days ago. Then I thought: " Damn! I could have used those moose hides!"
 
It looks great! Nicely done

In the photos it could easily be leather. But moose leather from one you took would have been awesome!
Next!
 
That is a much better idea than just throwing the hides on the floor. Looks great.
 
I like it.
 
Nice and cleverly lined up to match
 
Looks great Sir!
 
Very nice! Wish I had room in my place to do the same...
 
Wouldn't these hides get ruined super quick from constant use? Especially if these chairs are somewhere where there's gonna be a lot of people. I can't imagine how many farts these would store.
