LEISURE® and ELEGANCE at Restaurant Frederikshøj, Denmark
Enduring, Natural Leather for Refined Cuisine
Known for its two-star Michelin cuisine (Michelin Nordic Guide 2024), Restaurant Frederikshøj extends the same sense of excellence to its interior, where two of Sørensen Leather’s collections — LEISURE® and ELEGANCE — contribute to an atmosphere of refinement and comfort.
Dark Leather Enhances Restaurant Frederikshøj’s Sensory Atmosphere
Set between forest and coastline just outside Aarhus, the restaurant has been reimagined with a dark, sensual atmosphere. Timeless design classics such as Finn Juhl’s Delegate’s Chair (FJ 51), upholstered in LEISURE® leather in Trillemarka Dark Brown, and the Chieftain Chair upholstered in ELEGANCE, are central elements defining the interior.

An Innovative Leather for Transitional Spaces
LEISURE® is an advanced protected leather for indoor and outdoor use. Featuring a multi-layered micro-finish, it is resistant to leisure-related elements such as pool and salt water, sunlight, sunscreen, and general wear and tear.
Resilience and Natural Beauty
LEISURE® combines durability with natural beauty. While the surface offers strength, the look and feel remain those of natural aniline leather, with a unique matte, authentic aesthetic.
A Journey of Colours
The LEISURE® palette draws inspiration from nature — spanning warm terracotta hues, volcanic black, vibrant reds, cheerful yellows, and graceful shades of grey, beige, and brown.
OEKO-TEX® Certified
LEISURE® is certified with the LEATHER STANDARD by OEKO-TEX®.
Developed in Collaboration with GamFratesi
LEISURE® is developed in collaboration with the renowned Danish-Italian design duo GamFratesi, known for drawing inspiration from a fusion of tradition and innovation, paired with an experimental approach to materials and techniques.
ELEGANCE Upholstered on the Chieftain Chair
One of the Classics of All Classics
ELEGANCE conveys timeless exclusivity: a pure aniline leather with natural markings and a rich, smooth surface that develops a beautiful patina over time. Full-grain with exceptional depth, breathable with excellent seating comfort, firm yet flexible — ELEGANCE represents the ultimate in classic elegance.
Four Elegant Colours
Four specially-selected colours capture the intrinsic integrity of ELEGANCE and, at the same time, enhance its appeal.
