Our leather qualities
Leather Royal – thick leather
Royal leather is characterized by its thickness of approx. 1.3 – 1.5 mm and its particularly soft, pleasant feel. It is a muted leather that is dyed through and slightly sanded on the surface. There is also a slight surface pigmentation and natural features may be visible on the surface.
Classic leather - easy-care and covered
This easy-care leather is lightly pigmented, opaque and dyed through with natural dyes. There are still small amounts of pigment on the surface. The surface is lightly sanded. Natural features are still visible, but are complemented by a light layer of color.
Wave leather - two-tone effect
An elaborately produced two-tone effect and a slight top sheen give this soft leather its unique look and feel. It is drum-dyed and the surface has been pigmented.
Natural features may still be visible and give your upholstered furniture a unique character. The pigment finish makes it easy to care for.
Activ leather - easy-care and durable
This is a very easy-care leather finished with color pigments. Thanks to the special surface treatment and the evenly embossed surface, it has no natural grain pattern. The slightly thicker color pigmentation closes the natural pores, making the surface resistant to dirt and external influences.

The characteristics of leather
Leather is a unique material that develops a lively and typical patina over time. Every leather cover has its own natural characteristics that make it unmistakable. Scars, creases and insect bites are not defects, but a sign of the authenticity of the leather. The natural structure and coloring create a material that gains charm over the years.
Leather is also particularly hard-wearing, durable and easy to care for. With the right care, you can preserve its softness and color intensity. Also make sure to protect the leather from direct sunlight and intense heat. This way, it will remain a reliable and beautiful part of your upholstered furniture for many years.
