Ekornes is one of Europe’s largest consumers of leather. They purchase the leather from selected tanneries all over the world. Their own inspectors take part in the leather selection, which is conducted in accordance with international norms for quality determination. The experience we have gained from this work is for your benefit when you buy Stressless or Ekornes leather furniture. Their leather is manufactured according to current laws, guidelines and recommendations relating to their utilisation properties, and for the use and content of chemicals and other substances. They are cooperating with recognised international institutions in this line of business to ensure that we are updated at all times with events relating to health, safety and the environment. You can choose between these types of leather for Stressless or Ekornes furniture . (click on different leather grade picture to see available colors) Batick is a corrected, pigment improved and grain embossed upholstery leather, which has had most of its natural marks removed.

Batick may have a two-tone colour effect to liven up the surface. Batick is resistant to fading, although changes in colour will occur over time due to use and exposure to light. A protective layer of lacquer simplifies cleaning. Simple cleaning, excellent utilisation properties and a favourable price make Batick a good choice. Paloma is a slightly corrected leather with a combination of dyes and pigments that smoothes down some of the structure (the grain pattern) of the leather. The grain structure in Paloma may however vary a little at some parts of the furniture and also minor colour nuances may appear in the leather. Natural marks, scars and insect bites are natural and will appear in Paloma. A thin coat of lacquer gives Paloma some protection and simplifies cleaning, but Paloma does not have the same heavy duty quality and protection as Batick and Classic. Due to its soft, natural and comfortable expression, Paloma is a very popular choice. Cori is a corrected, pigment improved and grain embossed upholstery leather.

Cori has a substantial body and a distinct pebbled grain. Most of its natural marks are removed. Cori has a tip-shine which adds depth and character to the surface. Some colours have two-tone/ tone-on-tone effect. Cori is a wise choice if you want leather with excellent utilisation properties, a robust structure and an exclusive look. Royalin is the most exclusive of Ekornes’s leather types, but also the most vulnerable. Royalin is a type of leather with natural pebbled grain and structure, and may have minor colour nuances and some natural marks. knoll life chair replacement seat baseThis is characteristic for a natural material such as Royalin. queen anne chair wingbackA very light surface treatment provides a certain protection, but Royalin absorbs moisture easily, and is extra vulnerable to wear and tear, heat, sunlight, spills and perspiration. chair cover rentals hickory nc

Royalin has the softness and a rich warm glow that characterise first class furniture leather. Variances including grain pattern and colour are an inherent feature within Royalin leather and are a natural mark of high quality.
