> Vacona leather
The unequalled natural sheen of this durable pure aniline leather is so brillant that only unique and fine pieces of furniture can be created from this original leather. This sheen generated by treatment is continuously enhanced through use which makes Vacona even more exclusive. Crome tanned and produced without the use of PCP and CFC which are damaging to the environment.
VEGETAL is an extremely high quality, un-dyed leather we feature in its original colour, which actually becomes another colour. The colour emerges from the tanning agent starting with a very light tone, which then becomes a pale pink, later transforming into a light, nut-brown, with variations from hide to hide. Soft, subtle and susceptible to light, watch the patina that appears over time, as it adds an extra dimension of character to a classic leather that’s truly a beauty. Each hide is unique, bearing the natural, discrete markings of its original owner – the cow itself!
Adding to VEGETAL’s exceptional beauty and purity is the fact that less than 1% of all hides in the world can be used for this type of leather.

Elegance is an exquisite type of leather of the finest quality European oxhide. It has an exclusive and natural look and is soft and pleasant to the touch. Elegance is aniline leather and is chrome tanned but then subsequently vegetable tanned, which gives the leather greater firmness. This type of leather has a natural and raw surface, allowing the leather to breathe and offers excellent sitting comfort as well as a feeling of exclusivity. The leather is full grain, which means that its natural surface structure has been preserved and all natural markings are visible. Natural markings are the hallmarks of the animal’s active life and give the piece of furniture a unique sense of character. Elegance leather varies in colour from hide to hide and acquires a beautiful, lighter patina with use and exposure to sunlight.

"The Round One", as Hans J. Wegner was used to call it, is probably Wegner's furniture the most famous in the world.
Less than a year after its creation, the American magazine Interiors devoted it a special issue, which marked the beginning of the international carrier of Hans Wegner. The latter, with his usual modesty, said: "This chair could have been created one hundred years ago – nothing new".
The PP503 chair, designed one year latter, differs from the PP501 by its upholstered seat. John Kennedy, who suffered back, adopted it for his televised debate with Nixon in 1960, contributing to the celebrity of the chair which was then renamed The Chair and joined permanently the White House.
