Hallmarks of Natural Leather

Each piece of leather has distinctive markings, just the same as no fingerprints are the same. These markings show the natural beauty of leather and serve as a proof of the leather authenticity, some people call them the Signatures of Nature.

Natural Leather Markings

Before & After Treatment

Wrinkles of leather can be formed during the sofa delivery and storage processes due to the pressure applied by the protection materials. It is a normal phenomenon that will disappear after usage for a short period of time. Please pat the sofa according to the instructions; it can instantly reduce the wrinkles.

WARNING

To ensure your sofa remains in good condition, please follow the following instructions:

• Avoid jumping on the sofa and do not sit violently onto the sofa. (Fig.1)
• Do not sit on the arms and/or the back. (Fig.1)
• Do not drag the sofa over rough surfaces (e.g.Carpet). If the sofa has to be moved, it must be lifted but not be pushed by armrest even on smooth surfaces. (Fig.2)
• The stitching is unlikely to break if the instructions above are followed. (Fig.3)
• Place the sofa at least 50cm away from any sources of heat such as heaters or radiators. (Fig.4)
• Avoid exposing the sofa to direct sunlight or powerful lamps to ensure the colour of the covering remains bright. (Fig.4)

Tips for You – The Properties of Sofa Seat Cushion

Phenomenon:	Suggestions:
When a person sits onto a new sofa, the pressure applied to the seat cushion breaks the micro-cells and this induces a softening effect. The foam will become more supportive after the softening process has settled. This is the properties of the polyurethane foam inside the seat cushion.	The sofa will feel softer at the early stage of usage. Don’t worry and wait patiently for the softening effect to settle.
It is normal for the softness of the various seat/back paddings of the same sofa to differ as their softness varies according to the difference in the pressure applied to them due to the variance in usage.	Use the different seats of a sofa evenly, especially at the initial stage of usage before the softening process settles.
It is normal for light creases to form on the leather cover after usage. The level and quantity of the creases depends on the settlement of the polyurethane foam inside the seat cushion during usage.	Smooth out the creases formed after each sitting to prevent the creases from intensifying.
