Sheep Leather Sofas and Chairs

Production process

Australia and New-Zealand have the biggest sheep herds in the world. It is no wonder that they are the leaders when it comes to the supply of sheep leather. This is why sheep skins from these countries are used. It is important that the furniture of Art Deco Web is of the highest AA quality. After the quality check, the remaining hairs are scorched off. Then the leather is vegetable-tanned in France, after which it is shipped to the Netherlands for a second quality check.

In the workshop

When the hides arrive at the workshop, they are sorted by size to cut as little leather off as possible. Only whole hides are used, so they do not have any stitches. Templates are used to cut the patterns for the various armchairs. After this is done, the various parts are stitched together. Meanwhile, a beech wood base has been constructed which can then be upholstered by the upholsterer. This upholstery exists of six layers and, naturally, the hide. After the hides have soaked in a water bath for an hour, they are upholstered onto the base while still wet. This is a tough and time-consuming job that can only be done by the best upholsterers in the workshop. It will create a creaseless, upholstered piece of furniture with a unique look.

Final touches

After the piece of furniture has been upholstered, it has to be dried for 24 hours in a specific room. This will shrink the leather by 8% which means it will end up covering the base tightly and without any creases. The piece of furniture is then stained with organic material based on an old , secret recipe that was created by hand by a colouring expert. Afterwards, the furniture is once again brought to the drying room. Finally, it is covered with transparent wax. This way, a stunning and unique piece of furniture is created that has been made entirely by following old traditions.
