Bovine leather is a waste from the food industry which, through the tanning and retanning process, can be reused.
The actual leather is obtained mainly through chrome tanning while the thick leather, a type of very rigid leather, is the result of vegetable tanning with tannin, obtained from wood processing waste: the total ecological value of the thick leather must therefore be considered.
At a certain point in the process the leather is "split" into three parallel layers: the upper layer constitutes the "flower" with the natural design of the leather (grain), the intermediate layer will be sanded to give a printed grain while the final part constitutes the "crust" which will also be worked.
All these types of leather, although of different economic value, are of equal dignity if correctly dedicated to the product that requires them.
THICK COWHIDE LEATHER
By "full grain" we mean the highest quality quality without corrective interventions on the natural grain of the leather. By "leather" we mean the flower-printed hypodermis.
Full-grain thick leather (cuoio) is often used by the Bauhaus Masters as a load-bearing function for their innovative cantilever chairs (Mart Stam, Marcel Breuer, Mies Van der Rohe); when it comes to covering other materials, the thinnest "cuoietto" is indicated (for example for the Arne Jacobsen "7" chair).
