Aniline leather is pure nature made on raw hides of the finest quality. In principal, the hides have a natural “naked” surface where all natural markings are visible. This underlines the unique character and adds a rustic charm to the leather furniture. The leather is full grain meaning that the natural surface is untreated. Therefore, the leather “breathes” which contributes to the exclusivity and enhancing comfort. Usage and light influences on the leather which changes over time and quickly gain a beautiful patina.
Semi-aniline is full grain leather with a light finish. This treatment makes the hides more resistant and ensures high durability. Semi-aniline has the natural look of aniline leather combined with an excellent seating comfort.
