​

Leather is a natural material

No two hides are completely identical. Natural differences in grain, markings and colour are part of the character of genuine leather.

Small scars, wrinkles and tonal variations are not necessarily imperfections. In many leather qualities, they are simply evidence of the natural origin of the material.

At Driessen Leder, we select our leather carefully to achieve a good balance between consistent quality and the authentic character of the hide.

For larger furniture or interior projects, it can be important to order enough material from the same production batch. This helps limit visible differences in colour and texture across the finished project.

​

Upholstery leather for different applications

Our upholstery leather is used by a wide range of professional and private customers.

This includes:

• Upholsterers looking for reliable materials for furniture restoration and new upholstery.

• Furniture manufacturers that need consistent quality and dependable supply.

• Interior specialists working on residential or commercial projects.

• Architects and designers specifying leather for bespoke interiors.

• Private customers restoring or reupholstering a piece of furniture.

• Contract furniture specialists requiring materials that combine appearance with practical performance.

Whether you are producing furniture on a larger scale or restoring a single chair, the leather needs to match both the design and the expected level of use.

​

Choosing the right upholstery leather

Before buying upholstery leather, it is useful to consider more than colour alone.

Important factors include:

• the intensity of daily use;

• the required resistance to wear;

• desired softness or firmness;

• surface protection;

• maintenance requirements;

• colour and grain;

• thickness;

• size and quantity of the hides;

• any technical requirements.

A family sofa that is used every day may benefit from a more protected leather finish, while a design chair may be better suited to a more natural aniline quality.

Our team can help you compare the available options based on the actual application.

​

Custom upholstery leather for interior projects

Some projects require a colour, finish or specification that is not available as a standard stock quality.

For selected professional projects, Driessen Leder can discuss custom-made leather. Together with our partners, we can explore possibilities for colours, finishes and other specifications that fit your design concept.

This can be particularly useful for:

• furniture collections;

• hospitality interiors;

• office projects;

• bespoke furniture;

• interior concepts requiring consistent colours or finishes.

By discussing the project requirements at an early stage, we can help determine which options are technically and practically feasible.

Frequently asked questions about upholstery leather

Which upholstery leather is best for my project?
This depends on the intended use and desired appearance. Pigmented leather is often suitable for intensive use, while aniline leather may be preferred for furniture where a natural and refined appearance is more important.

Can there be differences in colour?
Yes. Leather is a natural material, so slight variations can occur between hides and production batches. Driessen Leder works with established European tanneries to keep these differences as controlled as possible.

Can I request samples?
Yes. Samples can be requested so you can assess the colour, texture and feel of the leather before making a larger decision.

How much does upholstery leather cost?
The price depends on the leather type, finish, thickness and required quantity. Driessen Leder offers different qualities and price levels for both smaller and larger projects.
