QUALITY OF MATERIALS
 
All colours (be they natural or obtained from dyes) may vary in shade from one batch to the next.
This might pose matching problems if orders for items of the same colour are staggered over time.

 
 
These differences cannot be considered flaws and shall not give rise to complaints or replacements.
 
VIENNA STRAW
Vienna straw consists of approximately 2 mm wide and 1 mm thick, thin wooden strips obtained from the external layer of bamboo cane. This is then machine woven according to the traditional pattern with its hexagonal shapes and then placed in a solid beech frame.
It is commonly called” Vienna straw” and became famous because it is used for the circular shape of the seat of the so-called “Viennese” wooden chair.
Since this is made with natural products, any improper handling can determine irreparable damage which cannot in any case be attributed to the quality of the product nor lead to the application of the guarantee.  
HAND WOVEN CANE
Here too approximately 6 mm wide and 2mm thick, thin wooden strips obtained from cane are used.  These are hand woven on metal frames.
Since this is a natural product, any improper handling can determine irreparable damage which cannot in any case be attributed to the quality of the product nor lead to the application of the guarantee.

FABRIC
Mixed “LINOSA” linen.
This natural fibre (63% cotton - 37% linen) contains a medium to large weft.  It is fairly thick and very resistant to wear and tear.
 
FAUX LEATHER  
LEDITEX MISTRAL
This is a leather surrogate and consists of an acrylic compound of 76% plasticized P.V.C. and 24% Polyester.  It is about 1 mm thick and is fairly resistant to wear and tear.
 
LEATHERS:  
VICTORY CONTRACT LEATHER
This leather is approximately 0.8/1 mm thick and partly or totally milled.  Grain enhancement is also carried out.  
 
             
FULL GRAIN CAT.A GEORGIA LEATHER

This 1.2/1.4 mm thick leather has a completely natural grain and is produced with Aniline dye.
 
CONTRACT LEATHER

This 2.4/2.6 mm thick leather is completely embossed with grain enhancement covering the entire surface.      
  
“GROPPONE”
This is 3.5/4 mm thick and partly finished with grain embossment over the entire surface.
 
“FULL GRAIN”
This leather is 2.5/2.8 mm thick and is totally natural grain.
 
Leather and hide are natural products! – The totally natural grain versions may contain slight imperfections such as scratches, scars, streaks, marks and a grain which varies considerable according to the part of the anatomy used.  These are “signs” which attest to the naturalness of the products and cannot be considered flaws.  
 
All leathers and hides are coloured with dyes! – The only exception is the “NATURAL FULL GRAIN” which does not undergo any type of colouring. - This leads to a gradual change in the colour which goes from “beige” at the beginning to an increasingly darker shade of brown. Because it is very absorbent, it can stain very easily.  
 
PONY
These are skin hides which are coloured completely naturally. If you choose an item upholstered in pony skin you have to be” mentally prepared “to accept the “irregularities of nature” whereby there are no hard and fast rules with regard to the intensity and distribution of colours.  In other words a black and white pony skin may be nearly totally white with a few black stains or nearly totally black with a few white stains.  This does not give rise to any grounds for a complaint or for the right to a replacement.
