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.

 Genuine Imported Leathers

In order to distinguish Rove's line of genuine imported full leathers from generic leathers offered elsewhere that make similar claims of quality, we highly encourage you to request free swatches from each store and compare them side by side!

We are confident you will see the difference our quality makes. Rove products are designed to last for years thus it is only fitting that great attention is owed to the material and craftsmanship of each piece.

Description

Eames, Charles and Ray

Charles Eames, an American architect and designer was greatly influenced by the Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen. Eliel’s son Eero (creator of the Ball Chair) would later become a partner and friend of Charles. In 1941, Charles married Ray Kaiser also an American artist, designer, and filmmaker who, together with her husband Charles, is responsible for many classic, iconic designs of the 20th century. Their work displayed the new technique of molded plywood products, including the 1945 DCW (Dining Chair Wood) and DCM (Dining Chair Metal with plywood seat) and the plywood Eames Lounge Chair 1956. From the beginning, the Eames furniture has usually been listed as by Charles Eames. In fact in the 1948 and 1952 Herman Miller bound catalogs, only Charles’ name is listed, but it has become clear that Ray was deeply involved and should be considered at minimum an equal partner in bringing the classic furniture pieces to life.
