Armrests mounted with original, patinated rosewood armrests from the 1960s. Aniline leather is made from rawhides. The leather basically has a completely natural bare surface, where all natural marks are visible. This helps to emphasize the unique character of the leather. The leather is full-grain, which means that the natural surface structure is preserved. Aniline leather changes over time through use and exposure to light and quickly acquires a natural patina.
