Leather & Cowhide

Leather and hide embody timeless elegance and artisanal quality in furniture design. These refined natural materials evolve over time, giving tabletops, seating, and accessories a distinctive character while combining comfort, durability, and a unique tactile beauty. Thanks to their versatility, they can adapt to a range of styles—from contemporary to classic—enhancing every project with exquisite details and flawless finishes.

The use of leather and hide in Desalto products stems from the desire to combine material, form, comfort, and durability, creating a continuous dialogue between craftsmanship and contemporary research. These materials provide a unique tactile and visual quality that evolves over time, acquiring ever-new nuances. Each leather- or hide-upholstered element results from careful workmanship, where artisanal expertise meets industrial precision. Seams, material tension, and the rendering of details are designed to complement the geometries of Desalto products, enhancing their proportions. Leather and hide are living materials that breathe and transform over time, embodying the story of those who use them. Far from an idea of immutable perfection, they gracefully embrace the signs of time, making each piece truly one of a kind.

Their surface, soft and warm, invites touch and conveys a sense of genuine comfort that is difficult to replicate with synthetic materials. In the Desalto collections, the use of these materials creates a balance where the coolness of metal is counterpointed by a tactile, enveloping quality. In this way, leather and hide become not just a covering, but an integral part of the design, capable of enhancing the perception of the piece and emphasizing its enduring value. In Desalto products, this is not merely an aesthetic detail, but a deliberate expression of coherence with the concept of furniture that is both lasting and authentic.
