422 Leather
espresso

The thick, mineral-tanned leather is made from selected European raw materials and dyed in the barrel. A light sanding of the grain in combination with wax gives the leather a uniquely smooth, natural wax feel. Slight variations in colour and grain are typical of the product.

Care and cleaning

Remove dust once a week using a vacuum cleaner and/or a damp cloth. Clean the leather at least twice a year using a mild cleaning agent and then impregnate the leather using a leather-care cream. This protects the leather against stains, provides it with nutrients and ensures it remains smooth. Dry up any spilt liquids immediately using an absorbent cloth, without rubbing.

  • Leather strength
    1,8 - 2 mm

    The leathers in our range are available in thicknesses between 1.0 and 2.5 millimetres. That sounds like just a fine difference, but the effect of this wafer-thin difference actually has an enormous impact. Thicker leather gives furniture a more solid, tougher, more heavier impression. We therefore recommend it above all for models with large leather surfaces. Thinner leather is recommended for fine furniture and furniture with distinct seams.

  • Tanning
    Mineral tanning (chrome)

    Mineral tanning (chrome tanning) is the most common method of tanning leather. About 80 per cent of all the leather tanned worldwide is tanned using chrome, which is obtained from chromium ore. Only trivalent chromium salts are used for tannage that are of no risk to health and that pollute as little as the vegetal tannage.

  • Lightfastness
    3

    Lightfastness is the ability of a cover to withstand solar radiation. The scale ranges from 1 to 8, with 8 being the highest and best light fastness. The higher the lightfastness, the better the leather will withstand the sun's rays without losing colour. As a rule of thumb, however, you should not place your furniture in direct sunlight. Some leather fade faster than others, which can be seen from the light fastness.
