As a Pure-Aniline leather GELATO has been drum-dyed without pigment applied to the surface. GELATO exhibits all the natural features such as scars, growth marks and fat wrinkles etc. Only the best rawhides are selected for Pure-Aniline leathers, which results in GELATO being one of the most beautiful upholstery leathers. GELATO is suitable for both residential and commercial applications where comfort and appearance are paramount. Care should be taken in high-traffic areas where food and drink spillage could stain the leather.

GELATO is produced from European rawhides. GELATO is suitable for all types of furniture from boardroom chairs through to luxurious lounges. An inspiring palette of 15 colours is available. Custom colours are also available.
