Welcome to this instalment
in our Leather feature
How does leather expertise inform product variety?
Decor Design Leather has been used extensively across the Australian and New Zealand commercial landscape including the Qantas and Virgin lounges, Crown and Star Casinos, Merivale, Solotel hospitality venues, Westfield shopping centres and is a first choice leather for many high end furniture makers.
It is a meticulously crafted leather range manufactured in Northern Italy, the home of upholstery leather and stocked locally in Perth, WA.
What does our range look like?
All leathers in the Decor Design leather ranges are selected for suitability in commercial and residential environments. They each have their own looks, feel, nuance, structure, thickness and texture.
The range has been structured to balance:
Value
The range is a mid to upper price point range we don’t offer solutions for the low end of the market. Hence we have a mix of pigmented, corrected grain and semi-aniline and aniline leathers.
Grain
We have thick defined and smooth grain leathers.
Evolving and stable
The range has been constructed to have a mix of stable leathers that will perform consistently over the years in high traffic environments like casinos and airline business lounges; and evolving leathers that will adapt to the environments they enter developing a rich patina over time in a variety of formats from:
- Waxed
- Pull up
- Matt - beeswax
- Tipped
- Nubuck - protected
All in a stunning palette of colours that have been adapted to Australian nuances. The range also extends into the more specialised categories (more about these later):
- Embossed
- Hair on Hides
- Saddle leather
- Outdoor leather - yes we can go outside!
- Foils,
- Sudes
- Perforated etc…
Range highlight: Natur
Natur is a two-toned semi!
NATUR is a heavyweight semi aniline leather, produced on premium European cowhide by one of Italy’s finest and most respected tanneries. The subtle two-tone effect of NATUR gives the finished product an understated appearance, which is complemented by a supple texture. As a semi aniline leather, NATUR will exhibit a natural grain, as well as marks, scars and other hallmarks of natural leather. NATUR is very tolerant to soiling and spillage and is an ideal selection for quality furnishings in any residential or commercial application.
