Leather covers not only guarantee a long lifespan; they also embody beauty and elegance. Quality is important, especially when it comes to leather. It should be soft, supple and breathable. High-quality leather is dyed so that the dye envelopes every individual fibre and all the natural features of the leather are visible. One piece of upholstered furniture is made of five to seven hides. The animals have lived under different conditions and no two hides are alike, resulting in natural variations in texture and colour, as well as natural markings and growth characteristics. These signs of life do not affect the value or the durability of the leather – rather, they ensure that each model is unique.
