THE LEATHER: Muuto uses two different leather variants from Camo Leathers; leather and Sydney leather. The two variants belong to two different leather cate- gories, namely Anilin leather and Semi Soft leather. Both Anlin and semi soft leathers are widely used terms within the , used to describe and differentiate leather qualities .

ANILIN LEATHER – SILK LEATHER: Anilin leather is the purest and most natural leather quality. Only around 15 % of all leather is of high enough quality to be classified as Anilin leather. Silk leather is an Anilin leather quality. Anilin leather shows all natural features of the and as a result hereof there will be variations from one product to another. The surface of Anilin leather has not, or has only to a small extent, been treated which preserves the natural look of the leather and ensures that the leather has a soft and warm feel to it. As the surface of Silk leather is soft and untreated, the colour of the leather will become darker with time.

SEMI SOFT LEATHER- SYDNEY LEATHER: Semi Soft leather is a lightly polished leather quality, which ensures flexibility and a soft surface. Semi Soft leather is chrome tanned without any use of PCP and CFC that can harm the environment. The process makes the leather strong and wear-resistant, and thus less sensitive, while maintaining a soft texture.

CARE & MAINTAINANCE Leather does not tolerate dry air or sunlight well. As a precaution furniture with leather upholstery should not be placed in direct sunlight or in air conditioned rooms, as this will have a visible effect on the leather’s surface. Maintenance treatment of the leather is therefore very important. Clean the leather with a dry cloth regularly. Treat and re-impregnate the leather at least four times a year using only special leather treatment products for Anilin and Semi Soft leather products.
