LEISURE®

Leather collection developed in collaboration with GamFratesi

LEISURE® is an advanced protected leather for indoor and outdoor use. The leather features a multi-layered micro-finish, enhancing its resilience against all kinds of leisure-related elements – such as pool and salt water, sunlight, sunscreen, and general wear and tear.

While the surface boasts durability, the look and feel are that of natural aniline leather. LEISURE® has been meticulous hand-sanded to achieve a smooth and matte surface. Every hide is unique, and as a product of nature, the leather’s natural markings tell stories of its true origin, boasting an incredibly rich, two-tone look.

A Journey of Colours
With LEISURE®, you get to choose from a colour palette inspired by nature. The colours derive from the designers’ journey through Europe and span all the way from warm terracotta hues to ancient, volcanic black, vibrant shades of red, cheerful yellow and graceful shades of grey, beige, and brown.

GamFratesi is a Danish/Italian design duo who draws inspiration from a fusion of tradition and innovation with an experimental approach to materials and techniques. Their work embodies a cross-cultural narrative, enriching contemporary designs, and LEISURE® is a fine example of this.

LEISURE® exudes an authentic and genuine appearance by capturing the raw beauty and freedom of nature in an advanced protected leather that will last for years on end.

Our LEISURE® collection has received the LEATHER STANDARD by OEKO-TEX® certification. A scientifically-founded, worldwide testing and certification system for leather. Based on international test standards and other recognised test processes, the certification involves around 100 test parameters. Including numerous environmentally-relevant substances and chemicals harmful to the health. The more intensively an article comes into contact with the skin, the stricter the human-ecological requirements that it must fulfil.

Care & cleaning
As a natural material, leather requires looking after. If you care for the leather in the right way, it will become even more beautiful over time. Here are a few tips: Follow our care instructions for LEISURE leather. Over time if you see the need for cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner once or twice a month with a soft brush to remove any dust. Once or twice a year for thorough cleaning, use the foam from soap flakes stirred in warm water. Apply the foam with a dry soft cloth, minimising any contact with water. Avoid bar soap, saddle soap, leather cleaners, household detergents or chemical products. Protect from excessive temperatures and sharp objects. The care and maintenance of leather will always depend on the specific way in which it is used, the conditions of use and how often it is used. Patina will show over time, as is customary with all leather types.
