Ekornes Offers Four Categories Of Leather In a Selection Of Beautiful Colours

Batick

Is a corrected, pigmented and grain-embossed upholstery leather, with most of its natural marks removed. The protective layer of lacquer allows spillages to be removed easily. Simple to clean and attractively priced, Batick is a popular choice for people who need a more hard-wearing leather.

Important information if you are buying Batick leather furniture:
As leather is a natural product, colour nuances are normal and colours might vary slightly from one product to another. Colour change will occur with time, due to use and the effect of light, even though Batick leather is the most resistant to colour fading. The layer lacquer protects the furniture and makes it easy to clean. Remember that furniture should be protected from direct sunlight and heating sources.

Classic

A corrected, pigmented and grain-embossed upholstery leather that’s thicker than Batick with a larger pebbled grain. Most of the natural marks are removed. However, some may still show. A protective layer of lacquer makes it easy to clean and most spillages are easily removed. This also makes Classic a popular choice for people who need a more robust leather.

Palma

An upholstery leather with a combination of dyes and pigments in the finish, Paloma has a natural grain pattern and natural marks. The light finishing treatment improves the physical properties and gives a more uniform colour. Paloma has been developed to produce a rich, comfortable feel. Paloma is the perfect choice for people looking for a soft, authentic appearance from a leather that breathes well.

Important information if you are buying Paloma leather furniture:

Remember that furniture should be protected from direct sunlight and heating sources. Marks left by scars and insect bites are natural features of this leather.

Royalin

The most exclusive type of Ekornes® upholstery leather, Royalin has a natural pebbled grain finish and visible natural marks. We give is a very light surface treatment for protection. Royalin has a soft touch, ‘breathability’ and a rich warm glow that characterises this natural top-quality leather.

Important information if your are buying Royalin leather furniture:
As leather is a natural product, colour nuances are normal and colours might vary slightly from one product to another. The leather is sensitive to direct sunlight, stains and perspiration, and colour change will occur with time, due to use and the effect of light. Remember that furniture should be protected from direct sunlight and heating sources. Marks left by scars and insect bites are a natural feature of leather with natural grain.

The following applies with all Ekornes® leathers:

• All our leather qualities and colours are through-dyed.
• Some colours have been enhanced with a two-tone effect.
• Colour nuances are normal.
• Leather absorbs moisture and breathes.
• Colour changes will occur with time due to use and the effect of light.

Apply Leather Protection Cream (which is supplied with our furniture) to all surfaces, headrests, armrests, seats etc., approximately twice a year (or when the leather is dry). The cream impregnates the leather and obstructs/delays the absorption of grease and perspiration. Carry out regular cleaning with a cloth moistened with mild leather cleaner. Never clean with a micro fibre cloth. The ability of micro fibre cloths to remove grease may cause damage to leather furniture.

About leather

Leather is a beautiful and vibrant upholstery materiel. The ‘colour play’ in leather and its natural marks make each piece of furniture unique. Leather upholstery ages with style, gathering patina. However, it’s important that you are aware that although leather furniture is very hardwearing it will change in appearance over the years.

Please be advised that bright white leathers are subject to greater risk of discolouring when in use, for instance through repeated rubing against strongly coloured clothes. Ekornes cannot accept liability for such damages. Please be cautious.

About Fabric

Please note that we recommend the use of fabric on selected models only, and that colour changes will occur with time, as a result of use and the effect of light. Furniture should be protected from direct sunlight. To pro-long the life and the appearance of the furniture, the fabric upholstery should be regularly vacuumed and professionally dry-cleaned.

The Wood Colour

Our wood finishes are made from laminated European beech, a light-coloured wood with an attractive grain, eminently for staining in various colours. The hardness of the wood makes beech furniture extremely durable.
