Have you heard others say “100% Italian Leather”?
If the furniture in question is made with 100% leather or 100% Italian Leather, but it does not state 100% full Grain Aniline Leather, then it is made from 100% Corrected Grain Leather aka Polyurethane Leather. Most, if not all reproductions in the mid price range are upholstered with Corrected Grain PU Leather. Corrected Grain is technically a form of leather that has a layer of polyurethane applied to the surface, which is then stamped or embossed using a synthetic plastic print roller to have the appearance of leather. By law, in the U.K and Australia corrected grain can no longer be sold as 100% leather. When that thin polyurethane top layer wears out, you will simply want to throw out that furniture.

What is 100% Full Grain Aniline Italian Leather?
Aniline Leather is the highest quality leather available. Aniline leather comes in other names such as premium aniline, naked aniline, aniline full grain, or true aniline; they’re all the same. Aniline is leather that has been dyed all the way through. It has no artificial top layer. It is soft and pliable with a texture that is easy on the skin when you feel it. The porous nature of aniline leather allows it to breathe naturally, which makes it that much more comfortable and durable when compared to regular "Italian Leather". Aniline is genuine leather and develops a patina gracefully over time versus cracking and wearing out.

Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier born in 1887 was a Swiss architect, designer, urbanist, writer and painter. He is famous for being one of the pioneers of what now is called Modern architecture or the International style. He began experimenting with furniture design in 1928. His cousin, Pierre Jeanneret collaborated on many of the designs. In 1928, Le Corbusier and Perriand began to put the expectations for furniture Le Corbusier into practice. The first results of the collaboration were chrome-plated tubular steel chairs designed for two of his projects, The Maison la Roche in Paris and a pavilion for Barbara and Henry Church. The most famous of these chairs and sofa sets are the now-iconic Le Corbusier LC-2, LC-3 and LC-4. LC-2 & LC-3 are similar in design with the LC-2 being the small version and the LC-3 the larger version. Le Corbusier LC-4 is the famous Chaise Lounge.
