Elegance Leather
The strong buffalo leather used by Station7 is treated in a special way in our Italian tannery after dyeing and then sanded by hand. This traditional method results in a rugged yet chic look with a pleasantly soft touch… At Station7, you can choose from eleven different colors of Elegance Leather: Olive, Moro, Walnut, Dark Green, Superblack, Tabac, Tin, Cosmos, Dark Blue, Tanganica, and Zenzero. This means your sanded leather furniture will be made exactly to your taste and will fit perfectly into your interior.
What is Elegance Leather?
Elegance Leather is made from animal hides. Buffalo leather has a natural look in which imperfections that occurred in nature remain visible. And because no two animals are alike, leather furniture is also unique. Even the sanded leather of two identical chairs differs from each other. The natural markings visible in our Elegance Leather furniture are caused by insect bites, wrinkles, skin folds, and healed scars, among other things. This makes our products unique; you can see the life that the cow led reflected in your furniture, as it were.
Elegance Leather feels very soft. The leather is roughened, giving your leather furniture a rugged look.
Maintenance of Elegance Leather
The Elegance Leather of a new chair or Elegance Leather sofa usually looks sleek. But it won’t stay that way. Over time, natural creases will form. This is because sitting on it puts pressure on the leather and transfers heat. The filling of the seat cushions also becomes softer. And that’s despite the fact that the leather is applied a little more generously to prevent the stitching from tearing. During use, the leather naturally stretches, which inevitably leads to creases. This is also part of owning a natural product such as leather.
Maintenance is very important for natural leather. Your leather furniture will stay beautiful for longer if you take good care of it.

What is buffalo leather?
Instead of regular cowhide, we use buffalo leather. Buffalo skin is more robust and weathered than the ‘smooth’ cowhide. This gives the hand-polished buffalo leather just the character that many living rooms and lifestyles require.

Features hand-polished buffalo leather
The processing of buffalo leather begins with cleaning, salting, and splitting. The buffalo leather is then tanned, and after a period of drying, we receive the buffalo leather uncolored at our factory. Our colleagues then set to work cutting, trimming, stitching, and filling the buffalo leather with a suitable and comfortable filling. The result of all these steps is, for example, a seat for a leather chair or armchair or a cushion for a leather sofa. To give the buffalo leather the desired color, it is then rubbed by hand with a dye. This unique coloring method ensures that the buffalo leather retains its natural appearance. Color differences are unavoidable.
You can request leather samples from us to get a good idea of the color. However, please note that there may be slight variations in color due to the different color nuances within a single hide. The natural markings remain visible and give each piece of furniture a unique, natural, and rugged look. After coloring, we apply a protective layer to protect the leather furniture from spills, for example, but also from external influences such as sunlight and scratches. We recommend not placing the furniture in direct sunlight.
Natural markings and creasing
Leather is made from animal hides. And because no two animals are alike, genuine leather furniture is also unique. Even the leather on two identical chairs will differ from each other. The natural markings visible in our leather furniture are caused by insect bites, wrinkles, skin folds, and healed scars, among other things. This makes our products unique; you can see the life that the buffalo led reflected in your furniture, as it were. The buffalo leather of a new chair or sofa usually looks smooth. But it doesn’t stay that way. Over time, natural creases will form. By sitting on it, you exert pressure on the buffalo leather and give off heat. The filling of the cushions also becomes softer. And that’s despite the fact that the buffalo leather is applied a little more generously to prevent the stitching from tearing. During use, more stretch occurs naturally, which inevitably leads to creases. This is also part of a natural product such as buffalo leather.
7 additional tips to enjoy your furniture for a long time:
| ✔️ | Sunlight and various types of artificial light cause leather to fade. Therefore, do not expose leather seating furniture to direct light. This will prevent the material from discoloring and/or fading prematurely. |
| ✔️ | Pet nails can damage your furniture. Even the most robust types of leather are not resistant to this. |
| ✔️ | Excessive heat dries out natural leather fibers. Therefore, never place your leather seating furniture too close to heat sources. If it is necessary to place a sofa near a radiator, make sure there is sufficient space between the floor, radiator, and seating furniture so that air can circulate properly and the moisture balance in the room and in the furniture is maximized. |
| ✔️ | Ensure good humidity. For living rooms, we recommend a humidity of 45-55%, with an ideal temperature of between 18-22 degrees Celsius. |
| ✔️ | Never use aggressive substances on the leather. No turpentine, chlorine, or other chemical agents. |
| ✔️ | Be careful with sharp objects on the leather, such as belts or zippers. These can damage the leather. |
| ✔️ | If a stain appears on your furniture, do not rub it vigorously. Carefully remove the stain with a tissue and dab it clean with a damp, but not too wet, cloth. |
