Ekornes® offers four types of leather —
each in a full range of colors

LEATHER UPHOLSTERY

Leather is a natural product and is a beautiful and lively material used in furniture making. Each hide is unique in its structure, appearance, nuance and size. Ekornes may use several hides when making your furniture. This, together with the leather’s play of colors and natural marks, makes each piece of furniture unique. In time, the leather will age and gain patina.

Ekornes is one of Europe’s largest consumers of leather. Ekornes purchases leather from selected tanneries all over the world. The leather selection process, overseen by our own inspectors, implements the most stringent international quality control standards. Every piece of Stressless® and Ekornes® leather furniture reflects our distinguished taste for the finest leathers available.

BATICK

A corrected, pigment improved and grain embossed upholstery leather, which has had most of its natural marks removed. Batick may have a two-tone color effect to liven up the surface. Batick is resistant to fading, although changes in color will occur over time due to use and exposure to light. A protective layer of lacquer simplifies cleaning. Simple cleaning, excellent durability and a reasonable price make Batick a good choice.

CLASSIC

A corrected, pigment improved and grain embossed upholstery leather. Classic is somewhat thicker and has a larger pebbled grain than Batick. Most of its natural marks are removed. Also some of the Classic colors have a two-tone color effect to liven up the surface. A protective layer of lacquer simplifies cleaning. Classic is a wise choice if you want leather with excellent durability.

PALOMA

A slightly corrected leather with a combination of dyes and pigments that smoothes down some of the structure (the grain pattern) of the leather. The grain structure in Paloma may however vary a little at some parts of the furniture and also minor color nuances may appear in the leather. Natural marks, scars and insect bites are natural and will appear in Paloma. A thin coat of lacquer gives Paloma some protection and simplifies cleaning, but Paloma does not have the same heavy duty quality and protection as Batick and Classic. Due to its soft, natural and comfortable expression, Paloma is a very popular choice.

ROYALIN

The most exclusive of Ekornes’s leather types, but also the most vulnerable. Royalin is a type of leather with natural pebbled grain and structure, and may have minor color nuances and some natural marks. This is characteristic for a natural material such as Royalin. A very light surface treatment provides a certain protection, but Royalin absorbs moisture easily, and is extra vulnerable to wear and tear, heat, sunlight, spills and perspiration. This requires greater care in use and more vulnerability to influence from direct contact with human skin (especially from neck/hair and hands). Royalin has the softness and a rich warm glow that characterize first class furniture leather. Variances including grain pattern and color are an inherent feature within Royalin leather and are a natural mark of high quality.

FABRIC

Stressless® offers you a completely new feeling of comfort; five contemporary, warm and luxurious fabric collections that complement our four leather categories.
