Safari
The hides of the water buffalos are chrome tanned and dyed with aniline dyestuff to get the typical characteristics of the Safari leather. Thereby the base colour is able to penetrate the fibres. Furthermore small imperfections can be adapted by slightly roughen and polishing the leather. During this professional process the leather is getting this typical fluffy appearance, which makes every hide unique. Original Safari leather is soft and comfortable.
Safari leather can be identified by the following typical features:
- robust, luxurious appearance
- fluffy surface, optical changes
- natural colour differences made by handpolishing of the hides
In short, a living piece of nature, which is changed with the know-how of tanners into a seat furniture. Please observe the following recommendations in order to maintain the features of leather:
- Do not expose your leather furniture to direct sunlight.
- Do not place your furniture directly next to the heating.
- Pets are not allowed on furniture.
- Ensure a pleasant indoor climate: approx. 45-55% atmospheric humidity, room temperature 18 °C – 21 °C.
