When it comes to high-quality leather furniture, hand burnished leather is a technique that stands out. At Adobe Interiors, we are proud to offer furniture crafted with this traditional method, which results in a stunning finish that is both beautiful and durable.
Hand burnishing is a process where leather is polished by hand, using friction and pressure, to create a smooth and glossy surface. The process involves using a specialized tool, such as a wooden burnisher, to rub the leather repeatedly until it becomes smooth and shiny. It's a time-consuming process that requires skill and patience, but the results are worth it.
At Adobe Interiors, we only use top and full grain leathers for our hand burnished pieces. Top grain leather is the uppermost layer of the hide, which is sanded down to remove any imperfections and give it a uniform texture. Full grain leather, on the other hand, is left unaltered and retains its natural grain pattern, giving it a more organic and rustic look.
Both types of leather are ideal for hand burnishing because they are thick and durable, and the natural grain patterns are highlighted by the burnishing process. The result is a unique finish that is rich and deep, with a warm, inviting feel.
One of the benefits of hand burnished leather is that it develops a patina over time. As the leather is used, the surface becomes more polished and smooth, and the colors deepen and become more complex. This adds to the beauty of the piece and gives it character and personality.
At Adobe Interiors, we believe that leather furniture should be both functional and beautiful. Hand burnished leather is just one of the many techniques we use to create pieces that are both stylish and built to last.
