Pioneer is a fully protected leather crafted from carefully selected European hides. Designed for enduring performance, Pioneer pairs exceptional softness with a refined surface effect that adds depth and dimension. Its durable finish allows it to excel in a wide range of applications—from residential seating to the demanding requirements of hospitality and contract environments. Slight variations in texture and shading are inherent to the natural hide and contribute to the unique character of this leather. Pioneer offers a supple, balanced hand and a clean, modern aesthetic. Through a precise tanning and finishing process, this leather achieves both resilience and beauty, making it suitable for any setting where longevity and style are equally important. Features like healed scares, wrinkles, warts, and insect bites elevate this leather in beauty and feel above other finished products.
For cleaning use damp cloth with a mild soap or leather cleaner.
