CHAMOIS: INTRODUCTION
Oggi presenteremo un colore molto particolare e di tendenza: il Pantone 16-1144. Suede is a soft, earthy, enveloping color belonging to the brown range.
Chamois, as its name suggests, recalls the color of wood and the yellow of leather.
Transposing Pantone 16-1144 into furniture is not easy, but not impossible either since this color is naturally recalled by the different wood essences of the furniture.
Suede is a popular choice for upholstering chairs, sofas, and other furnishings, such as rugs and cushions. Pantone 16-1144 can also be used for lacquered furnishings, such as contemporary-style sideboards, cupboards and sideboards.
REFINED AND TIMELESS
Suede is a material that has moved from clothing to the world of furniture, ranging from walls to floors, from sofas to armchairs, even mats and furniture. It is among the most luxurious materials and due to its rather high cost it is rarely used, except for chairs, accessories or sofas. For several years now, designers have been offering a variety of leather furnishing solutions, making them more accessible to everyone.
Suede is treated and dyed animal skin: it is a material with great insulating properties, soft, easy to work with, and durable over time. Thanks to its characteristics, over time, leather acquires that fascinating aged effect, enriching itself with unique nuances and reflections, softness and charm.
Let’s discover it together and see all the style tips to integrate it perfectly with your decor!
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUEDE AND LEATHER
Before discussing the uses of leather in furniture, let’s first clarify its difference from leather, so as to avoid any mistakes.
Leather is the raw material, while hide is treated, or rather “tanned,” skin through baths in substances such as natural tannins, synthetic tannins, chromium salts, aluminum salts, zirconium salts, marine animal oils, and formaldehyde.
Rawhide is generally used to cover the less visible parts of sofas and armchairs. On the other hand, “grain leather” together with leather is used for upholstery, being very soft and wear-resistant materials.
STYLE TIPS
Furnishing with this material, although expensive, is undoubtedly recommended if you want to create a refined and sophisticated atmosphere in your home, with unique and valuable pieces such as a beautiful sofa or armchairs.
Adding a suede element to your home means emphasizing the value of contrasts. If you have a modern home with clean lines and shapes, its warmth and softness will give you the contrast you were looking for. Imagine the contrasts you could achieve by combining brass-plated metals, gray stone, concrete, and wood with warm leather tones.
Concrete and suede together are a winning combination because it softens the harshness of the concrete, and the concrete has the ability to “rejuvenate” the suede. Questa combinazione industriale e naturale conferirà all’ambiente un effetto contemporaneo molto particolare.
A beautiful leather sofa or armchair can furnish your living area, giving it a truly unique mood, energy, and style.
Se hai una casa in stile industrial, che richiama alla memoria le atmosfere dei grandi loft di New York, allora il camoscio non può mancare. Must-haves include exposed brick walls, wood and steel furniture, and a leather sofa and a few accessories.
