The properties of different armchair materials
Depending on which material you choose, your armchair will have different properties. Our leather armchairs in Mannheim or Worms look elegant. With proper care, genuine leather is also durable and feels very pleasant to the touch. Artificial leather, on the other hand, is a cost-effective alternative and also the right choice for animal welfare. However, most artificial leathers are not as durable and appear less high-quality.
If you choose an armchair with a fabric cover, you have an incredibly diverse selection. Whether elegant understatement with linen, a touch of opulence with velvet, or pure comfort with corduroy or wool: the material significantly determines the style. In addition, with some armchairs, it is possible to remove and wash the fabric cover, which simplifies care.
