A refined semi-aniline upholstery leather, sourced from Brazilian steer hides and developed specifically for high-end upholstered furniture. Chrome tanned and dyed through for consistent, deep coloration, the Granite features a natural milling surface condition that accentuates the organic character of the hide, with the subtle grain variations, elongation marks, and tonal nuances that distinguish genuine full-grain leather from any synthetic alternative.

At 0.9–1.1 mm thick, it strikes an ideal balance between suppleness and structural integrity. The leather has been tested and certified in compliance with RAL-GZ 430 and DIN EN 13336 — the German upholstered furniture quality standard — passing all required performance tests including rubbing fastness (dry, wet, and sweat), light fastness, finish adhesion, long-term fold resistance at 50,000 cycles (DIN EN ISO 5402), tear propagation load, flammability (DIN EN 1021-1), cold resistance down to -15°C, and water drop fastness. Ageing and temperature resistance are also confirmed after 3 days at 60°C with no color change beyond the accepted threshold.

The Granite also undergoes the full RAL-GZ 430 harmful substance and environmental health testing program, passing strict limits on formaldehyde emissions, VOCs, Chrome VI, CMR compounds, heavy metals, and restricted biocides — making it a responsible choice for projects where indoor air quality and occupant health are part of the specification criteria.

Care is moderate: clean with a lightly damp soft cloth, rubbing the surface gently. Avoid solvents and commercially available leather care products. Protect from direct sunlight and dry air environments to preserve suppleness over time. 

*Natural leather may exhibit non-homogeneous graining, textures, and other characteristics that may not be uniform. Color variations between samples are approximate and may differ from hide to hide.
