Leather and leather

Let's distinguish the difference between hide and skin: leather generally used in furnishings is treated and worked in such a way as to obtain thin, soft and pleasant to the touch layers, making it especially suitable as a covering and therefore cut and sewn like fabrics; on the other hand, the leather is obtained with a different manufacturing process which makes it more; rigid, more; often and therefore suitable for making seats and backs of chairs, coverings of rigid parts such as table legs and with a typical plate stitching process.

Good rule: periodically pass a hand cream on the most sensitive parts; subject to use, the skin or leather will remain so; hydrated, elastic and protected.

Regenerated leather or leather fiber

The regenerated leather or regenerated leather of leather fibers is produced from the processing of packaging waste, tanning residues and finishing of leather or leather products. The processing initially takes place by finely grinding the leather residues (60-80%) and then mixing them with natural latex. The mixture is then treated and transformed, with special machinery, into slabs of various thicknesses, which are subsequently trimmed, finished and painted.
