Care & Buying Guide
Utah aniline leather has been designed to allow the natural variation of the hide to come through, and as a result healed scars and marks will appear through the finished coating.
Changes to colour will occur when the leather is pulled or stretched creating a unique patina over time.
The leather should be protected from direct sunlight and away from direct heat sources to avoid the leather from drying out.
One of Britain’s most highly respected furniture designers, Matthew Hilton creates pieces with an elegant simplicity that belies their complex engineering, each rigorously functional, exquisitely detailed, and built to last. Find the Balzac chair and other standout creations in our collection.
