Picasso is a full aniline leather which has been milled extensively to achieve a naturally shrunken pebble grain. Fresh steer hides have been hand selected and the highest quality dyes and oils have been used in its re-tannage to give Picasso a very natural look combined with a spongy hand feel. This leather is then hand antiqued with aniline dyes to give it a multi dimensional antiqued look, followed by a hot iron treatment to give it an added hand and depth. The beauty and workmanship of this leather is amplified once upholstered, by giving any piece an element of elegant sophistication.

Picasso is a naturally shrunken grain. Therefore, you will see a variance in the pebble effect from hide to hide and within a hide.

Colors Available:  Honey ,  Taupe ,  Caramel ,  Parquet ,  Cobblestone ,  Henna ,  Brown ,  Loden ,  Midnight ,  Revere ,  Mushroom and  Chestnut.
