Full Grain Aniline Italian Leather VS Italian Leather - A quick must read.

100% Italian Leather, what it is and what it isn't.

When the specifications of the furniture in question state that it is made with 100% Italian Leather or 100% Leather, the leather used is Corrected Grain Leather. Corrected Grain Leather is the brainchild of the sneaker industry. Most, if not all furniture reproductions in the mid price range are upholstered with Corrected Grain Leather. Corrected Grain is technically a form of leather that has a layer of synthetic polyurethane applied to the surface. This liquid polyurethane is then stamp rolled using a plastic embossed print roller that has leaves the repeating appearance of leather grain on the surface. Is that real leather? Recent law was passed In the U.K and Australia mandating that corrected grain can no longer be sold as 100% genuine leather. When that embossed polyurethane top layer cracks or wears through, it's a different texture and color underneath and your option is new furniture or a complete re-upholstery job.

100% Full Grain Aniline Italian Leather, the real thing.

Aniline dyed leather comes with various names depending on the manufacturer or the furniture company. You may come across names like Premium Aniline, Naked Aniline, Aniline full grain, or true Aniline, they're all the same. Aniline is leather that has been dyed all the way through. It has no artificial top polyurethane layer or anything stamped or applied to its surface. Aniline has all of its natural features, no fake repeating leather look a like pattern and nothing to hide. It is the real deal and is what adorned the original mid century classics. It is supple in its reflection of light, curves naturally and softly over forms. It is pliable with a texture that caresses the hand as it runs over its surface. The porous nature of Aniline Leather allows it to breathe which in turn makes it that much more comfortable and durable. Aniline is genuine leather and patinas over time versus cracking and wearing out.

FLORENCE KNOLL ARMCHAIR HISTORY

The Florence Knoll Sofa, Chair and Loveseat is a design icon. The original design was conceived in 1956 by Florence Knoll, a world class architect and designer. It is a relatively simple design as it was originally meant to complement the classic innovations of Saarinen and Bertoia. The Knoll philosophy of furniture design solves practical and aesthetic design problems. The philosophy results in minimalist beauty, lasting durability and luxurious comfort in one complete package. It is well known that Knoll studied and collaborated with Mies Van Der Rohe. Knoll designed the classic trio using a durable stainless steel frame with minimal materials. Cubic cushions featuring compressed buttons in a purposeful and logical layout provide style and comfort to the supporting thin armed, minimalist frame. Do you notice the similarities in design philosophy to the Mies Van der Rohe's Barcelona Chair? The Knoll Sofa, Love and Chair is becoming even more popular as its minimalist yet functional design fits perfectly into todays modern home. Acquire your own piece of history by purchasing this auction or call us at 877.844.4988.

History of the Designer, Florence Knoll

Florence Knoll is an American architect and furniture designer. Florence Knoll's design flair began at the age of 14 when she designed her first home. A minimalist to the core, she pioneered the concept of open plan living and working spaces. The question Knoll asked prior to the design phase of the Classic Knoll Sofa & Chair: How can a piece of furniture support luxurious upholstery, yet take up as little space as possible? Her American interpretation of minimalist, rationalist design theories is clearly evident in her pieces. In her early years, Knoll studied under Mies van der Rohe. Some say a quick glance at the Knoll Sofa and Chair reveals the influence of Mies van der Rohe via his iconic Barcelona Lounge Chair. It is true that both the Knoll sofa and chair share a similar square button impressed cushion design. Many view the Knoll full size sofa, love and chair collection as the expression in full scale living room furniture what the Barcelona design is to the lounge category.
