What type of genuine leather do you offer?
We use top grain leathers with both matte and glossy finishes for our leather sofas.
- Matte finish: Ideal for casual or modern interiors, matte finishes offer a soft, understated look. They're great for spaces where minimalism or a more natural feel is desired.
- Glossy finish: Best suited for formal or contemporary settings, a glossy finish adds a touch of luxury and sophistication. It reflects light and can make a bold statement in more refined or elegant interiors.
How do I choose which real leather to use for my sofa?
When choosing real leather, consider the following:
- Finish: Decide whether a matte or glossy finish best suits your home’s style. Matte leather offers a more relaxed, understated look, while glossy leather provides a sleek, modern edge, adding a touch of sophistication to your space.
- Grain pattern and colour: Select a grain pattern (fine or textured) that complements the aesthetic of your space. Choose a colour that aligns with your existing color scheme for a cohesive design.
Should I choose leather with fine grain or textured grain patterns?
The grain patterns on leather are created through different embossing techniques. When choosing, consider:
- Durability: Textured grains tend to hide wear and tear better, making them more durable over time.
- Touch: Fine-grained leather feels smoother, while textured leather can provide a more tactile experience.
- Style: Fine grains are often associated with sleek, contemporary looks, while textured grains give off a more rugged or vintage appearance.
How do I maintain leather sofas over time?
To keep your leather sofa looking its best, follow these tips:
- Prevention: Protect your sofa from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and avoid placing it near heat sources to keep the leather from drying out.
- Maintenance: Regularly dust and wipe your sofa with a soft, damp cloth. From time to time, use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and to prevent cracking.
What is the difference between genuine leather, full grain leather, top grain leather, corrected leather, Nappa leather, pigmented leather, and aniline leather?
- Genuine Leather: Refers to any leather made from cowhide, typically lower grade than full grain or top grain.
- Full Grain Leather: The highest quality, it includes the entire grain layer, which is more durable and develops a natural patina over time.
- Top Grain Leather: Slightly less natural than full grain, top grain has the top layer sanded and treated, offering a more uniform appearance.
- Corrected Leather: A heavily treated leather that undergoes sanding and embossing to remove imperfections, often used for more uniform finishes.
- Nappa Leather: Known for its soft, supple texture, Nappa is usually made from top grain hides of lamb, sheep, or cow, and is often left minimally treated.
- Pigmented Leather: This leather is coated with a protective layer of pigment, which makes it more resistant to stains and fading.
- Aniline Leather: Treated with soluble dyes that penetrate the leather without covering the surface, aniline leather retains its natural texture but is more prone to wear.
How many people can your sofa sit?
Most of our sofas are modular in design, allowing you to craft a sofa that fits your space and seating needs.
We offer options for 2-person sofas, perfect for small spaces, or larger configurations that can comfortably seat over 5 people, ideal for family gatherings.
You can co-create your dream sofa with us to perfectly suit your home.
Is assembly required for your sofas?
Yes, our sofas require some assembly at customer's place.
This usually involves attaching the legs or connecting different sofa modules.
This set up helps facilitate transportation through narrow spaces like lifts or corridors.
