What is Patchwork?

We explain this to you: in principle, the whole skin is used for the manufacture of an original Chesterfield. This must meet our high quality requirements. Sometimes the quality is good, but small irregularities such as bites or other scars are disturbingly visible. It's a shame to disapprove of the whole skin on that. In that case, our craftsman can choose to cut the skin as optimally as possible and to remove the lesser spots. That's not so simple. It requires insight, expertise and mastery of the right technology. He then selects matching pieces of leather from the good parts for making e.g. a 3-seater Brighton sofa in patchwork. Variations in shape, pattern and color can still be made at this stage. The leather pieces are then stitched together in a special way, after which the leather is carefully folded over the stitching seam so that the seam is no longer visible. This is real quality craftsmanship! The effect is very beautiful. Playful, yet very strong. The applied technique ensures a good distribution of the pressure: not only on the stitched seam, but also on the fold. It gives the leather on the furniture optimum strength and stability and increases the carrying capacity and durable seating comfort, exactly as you would expect from a real Chesterfield! Our Chameleon version is a very creative patchwork concept. Below you can see an example of this.
