TIVANO FABRIC

Tivano is a semi-aniline leather with a hand-buffed finishing and a stone-washed effect. Produced with cattle of european origin, it has a thickness of 1.2-1.4 mm. The size of each skin is about 5 sqm. Due to the technical characteristics of the finish it is not possible to grant high surface resistance to rubbing or light.

Furthermore, the particular processing does not guarantee uniformity of colour between different batches.

BOGARDINE FABRIC

Yarns of different types and thicknesses create a textural weave and confer a slight matelassé effect to the surface.

Soft and consistent to the hand, hardwearing and ideal for heavy duty seating.
