How does the 'combi leather' mentioned in the sofa description differ from the regular leather option?
When looking through sofa leather options, one may wonder how it is manufactured upon seeing the specification called combi leather.
It is a specification where natural leather is used on the main exterior surfaces that touch the body, while the inner surfaces that rarely touch skin or where leather touches leather are finished with artificial leather.
Combi refers to a configuration that mixes two or more different materials. In furniture, it refers to a method of manufacturing where the areas that touch skin and the invisible parts are divided into different leathers.
The COMBI LEATHER option selected for munito's NOIR SOFA finishes the surfaces that rarely touch skin and the inner surfaces where leather touches leather with artificial leather [1]. It is a configuration that lowers the cost burden by changing the material of the surfaces that have less friction and receive fewer glances, while maintaining the texture of natural leather on the surfaces that directly support the body when seated [2].
The exact proportion by part or drawings where artificial leather is used in the NOIR SOFA combi leather specification have not yet been confirmed.
