Foggia
leather.

Foggia is our modern pick. Italian semi-aniline leather with a soft, supple hand, a subtle matte sheen, and a colour distribution that is more even than full-grain aniline. Less dramatic patina, more uniform across the hide. The leather for anyone who wants a sofa that looks roughly the same ten years from now as on day one.

The grain is lighter than on Africa or Kenia. Stains soak in more slowly, sun leaves less of a trace. Foggia pairs beautifully with clean Scandinavian rooms, oak floors, pale walls, modern art.

№ 01 · Character

Foggia in short

a

Semi-aniline, light pigment layer

Semi-aniline means a very thin pigment layer is added after aniline tanning. It guards against stains and sun without losing the natural hand of aniline. You still feel leather, not plastic.

b

Uniform colour

Where Africa shows different tones across a hide, Foggia stays fairly even across an entire sofa. A deliberate choice, perfect for a quiet interior and for sofas that do not clamour for visual attention.

c

Matte finish

No shine, no reflection, no gleam that jumps in photos. Foggia catches soft shadows, not mirrors. In a bright daylight room the leather stays calm.

№ 03 · Care

Care for Foggia leather

Foggia is lower-maintenance than Africa. What it needs:

Weekly
Dry dusting with a soft cloth.
Every 6 to 12 months
A light leather balm. Far less often than aniline needs.
Stains
Dab with a lightly damp cloth. On coffee or wine, act quickly.
Sunlight
Less sensitive than aniline, but direct sun on fixed spots is still unwise.
№ 04 · Who it suits

Who Foggia suits

+ Good fit

Modern, minimal or Scandinavian interiors, people who do not want patina, homes that want calm in the colour, anyone who wants a sofa that ages well rather than ages dramatically.

! Less suited

Anyone chasing the character of patinated leather will not find it here. Pick Africa or Rancho instead.
