Leather furniture
Genuine leather furniture has always been not only comfortable and beautiful, but also indicated the refined taste and position of its owners. An interior in which such furniture is present looks more solid and expensive, regardless of the style in which it is made.
Thanks to modern technologies of furniture production, methods of processing natural leather and novelties in the textile industry, the range of application of this material in furniture has significantly expanded. Leather is used not only as upholstery of upholstered furniture, but also as a decorative finishing material for cabinet furniture and its facades.
Leather furniture production
Leather has been used in the production of upholstered furniture for a long time. For this, the skin is treated in a special way and dyed. All genuine leather is divided into categories from the most inexpensive and denser and coarse, to thin and soft, which is significantly higher in price. Each of the buyers has their own preferences in the choice of upholstery.
The correct choice of leather in accordance with the model of upholstered furniture can put upholstered furniture in a better light, even with inexpensive natural leather.
It is fairly believed that leather furniture is an expensive pleasure. Basically, upholstered furniture made entirely of genuine leather is produced only to order. Typical furniture manufacturers usually combine natural and artificial leather.
Natural material is used on the armrests and those surfaces that are visible and in contact with the human body during use, the rest of the details are covered with artificial leather.
Modern artificial leather is no different from natural and is able to convey not only color, but also the texture of natural material. At the same time, artificial leather can imitate the skin of exotic animals and amphibians. Its use significantly reduces the cost of furniture in general, which makes it available to a wider range of consumers.
Leather is increasingly used as decorative fragments or coatings in the manufacture of facades of wardrobes, chests of drawers and other cabinet furniture.
Any leather is thoroughly checked for defects before being cut: tears, scratches, unpainted. Such leather is not allowed for further use.
Custom leather furniture
Large factories of upholstered furniture have several typical models in which leather is used as upholstery fabric. At the request of the customer, the factory will produce furniture with any design you like and with any kind of leather. In some cases, there may be slight changes in the size of the model or a change in the location of the corner of the sofa.
Enterprises specializing in the production of custom-made furniture are able to make furniture according to projects drawn up in cooperation with the designer and customers. In this case, the price of such a kit will be much more expensive. The same applies to the finishing of the facades of cabinet furniture with leather. Such furniture looks unusual and expensive, but due to its high labor intensity it significantly exceeds the price of ordinary furniture.

Almost every large furniture factory has a line of leather furniture in its assortment:
- "Factory on March 8". It produces mainly classic style furniture, which is suitable not only in the living room, but also to complement the interior of offices and libraries,

Means for repairing leather furniture
No matter how carefully leather furniture is used, sooner or later, microcracks, scuffs, scratches and other damage may appear on it. This is due to the fact that natural leather is a very delicate material that requires delicate handling. That is why such furniture is not recommended for pet lovers, whose claws are capable of piercing and tearing expensive upholstery.
What if the damage did happen?
There are several materials that can restore surfaces to their previous appearance:
- Dense repair compound. It is widely used in the restoration of scuffs, scratches and tears that often appear on the armrests and seats of sofas. The composition of the material is a white paste, which can be easily given the desired color by adding pigment. It is applied to the cleaned damaged area in several layers. If necessary, the first layers are sanded to completely level with the total surface of the coating.
- Liquid Repair Mortar is mainly used for cracking. This is a very plastic compound that, like butter, fills in all the lesions and adheres securely to the skin. You can dry it with a simple hairdryer without overheating the skin. As it dries, the composition will, as it were, fall into cracks, so the work will need to be done in several layers, each time sanding the area that needs to be restored.
- Means for texture repair of leather. In case of damage to rough leather with a large texture pattern, it is necessary not only to fill the hole, but also to make the damaged area invisible, restoring its texture. To do this, use a tool for texture repair of the skin.
- Skin softener. Used to restore softness and elasticity to rough skin. This phenomenon can occur if the indoor air is too dry or the wrong skin care product is selected. The softener will restore the skin to its original appearance.
