CTL Leather

The most compelling materials are the ones that continue to reveal themselves over time.

The Modena sofa by Linea Design Furniture Inc., upholstered in our Stagecoach Rawhide, showcases the enduring appeal of natural leather. Aniline dyed and hand buffed, Stagecoach features a rich hand-wiped effect that highlights the depth, dimension and authentic character of each hide.

Natural grain, tonal variation and subtle nuances are not imperfections—they are the qualities that make every piece unique. As the leather ages, it develops a distinctive patina, adding richness and personality with every year of use.

Character. Comfort. Confidence in every detail.

Understanding the difference between a swatch and a full hide is an important part of specifying natural leather.

Stagecoach is a semi-aniline leather featuring a natural grain and rich hand-wipe effect. The resulting colour movement and depth become increasingly apparent across larger upholstery applications, where the full character of the hide can be appreciated.

Natural variation throughout the hide contributes to a unique visual richness, while a light protective finish offers a balance between authenticity and performance. Designers benefit from the warmth, depth and individuality of a natural leather, without sacrificing practicality for interior environments.

The result is a leather that feels both refined and approachable—bringing character, comfort and longevity to the spaces it inhabits.

The most cherished leather pieces are never defined by perfection. They are defined by the stories they carry.

The softened corners. The subtle colour shifts. The marks left by time and experience.

These are the details that transform leather from a material into something personal.

It's the same philosophy behind SoHo—a pure full grain aniline leather that celebrates authenticity through natural variation, character and the rich patina that develops over time.

Because the beauty of leather isn't created in a factory.
It's revealed through life.

At North of Brooklyn 8, materiality plays a defining role in shaping the atmosphere of the space.

Designed by Ménard Dworkind architecture & design and photographed by David Dworkind, the restaurant pairs the rich character of our SoHo Seaweed on the custom banquettes with circular accents of Cowboy Coffee. Counter stools upholstered in our Dallas Harvest introduce an additional layer of warmth and depth, creating an environment that feels both contemporary and inviting.

As a full grain, pure aniline leather, SoHo brings natural variation, depth and authenticity to the installation. Over time, the leather will continue to evolve through touch and use, developing a patina that becomes part of the story of the space itself.

Thoughtful design. Authentic materials. Lasting character.

When specifying natural leather, understanding the difference between a swatch and a full hide is essential.

SoHo

Every scar, wrinkle, grain variation and subtle shift in colour speaks to the natural life of the hide. These are the details that make SoHo so distinctive—a full grain, pure aniline leather designed to showcase nature's hallmarks beautifully.
