Our Top 4 Real Leather Executive Chairs for Leather Luxury at Home
Many Australians are now calling their home ‘the office’, thanks to the rise of self-employment and flexible working hours. When you work on the land it may be even a larger part of your working life. Along with the freedom to set up a workspace comes the challenge – what works for you?
Do you tend towards the stylish luxury and devil may care attitude of top grain leather in all its natural earthiness of aniline hand finishing?
We like to call this a Bomber jacket effect. Much like your beloved leather bomber jacket, a top grain aniline leather will reveal its timeless character over the course of many years. Ageing gracefully, looking richer for the years of wear and use.
Pure aniline leathers represent approximately 5% of all upholstery leathers produced worldwide, for this reason they are special and exceptional. The rich character and depth of aniline leathers can only authentically be achieved with full grain or top grain leather.
Do you favour the crisp consistent classic polish of a Blazer jacket? Or are you little more a devil may care adventurer that loves the warmth and character that the years can bring?
If you love the characteristic richness of leather style of a Bomber jacket where the waxed rich patina and aging over a lifetime brings more character and richness, pure aniline hand dyed leathers will be your favour.
Prefer the tailored style of a Blazer simply because you are more tailored? At heart you are a classic leather aficionado but prefer a little more colour uniformity and added protection, your classic leather style is semi aniline leather. Semi-aniline leather is also a top grain leather and is produced in a similar process to full aniline dyeing, with a protective topcoat added for colour protection and lessening of scoring

As hides are selected for their highest quality requiring little or no correction.
