Natural characteristics of leather
Natural characteristics of leather
Leather tells its own story. The characteristics below are inherent to the material and make your furniture even more individual:
Natural markings
Small scars, insect bites, thorn scratches, grain patterns or slight differences in sheen and structure are part of genuine leather. They have no effect on the quality or lifespan of your furniture.
Creasing and rippling
Body heat, humidity and daily use can cause leather to stretch slightly. As a result, creases or ripples may form, especially on the most frequently used seats. This is completely normal and generally stabilises after the first few months of use.
Colour nuances
Not every part of the hide absorbs dyes in the same way. Slight colour variations can therefore occur. These are especially visible in non-pigmented full-grain leather, where the natural character remains most pronounced.
Typical leather scent
New leather often has a distinctive scent. This gradually diminishes with use and by airing the room regularly. Temperature fluctuations can temporarily make the scent more noticeable.
These characteristics are inherent to natural leather. They do not detract from the value, comfort or durability of your JORI furniture, but make it even more individual.
