Our fabrics and leathers

Before you begin...

...a few words on sustainability and environmental responsibility:

As you may have read elsewhere, sustainability is truly important to us. That’s why we repair all furniture after returns if necessary and never throw anything away. Fabric Samples cut by hand from fabric scraps.

What does this mean for our selection of fabrics and leathers?

ALL fabrics have AT LEAST an Oeko-Tex 100 certificate and are REACH-compliant. The leathers also carry at least the Blue Angel label. We know our manufacturers personally. They are based in Germany, Italy, Poland, and Portugal.
