DESCRIPTION
A versatile and transitional leather, impressions adds plushness to traditional upholstery silhouettes, and evokes a subtle statement on casual contemporary frames. On virtually any frame style, the look of Impressions is unique and the feel is inviting. The hide is first aniline dyed and then lightly pigmented with a water based toner. Next, a darker contrast is then applied and hand-patted to create unique highlights. Often, a third toner color is then applied, at various intervals by hand to give each individual hide a unique, singular distinction.
