We like to call all our leathers eco-leather; this is a term used to describe leathers produced from an environmentally friendly production process. It relates to the chemicals used, waste products generated, and finishes applied to the products.

The eco-friendly leather is a natural material managed using processes and chemicals that are safer for the environment. These processes also result in a leather that is safer for the user over time. All leathers from Eikund are sourced from EU countries, from trusted partners who comply with the strict rules and regulations defined by EU legislation to ensure high level of animal welfare.

VEGETABLE TANNED ANILINE LEATHER
Our selection of leathers ensures genuine quality that will age with beauty. All our upholstered furniture come with vegetable tanned leathers. Our hides are tanned using a recipe of natural materials, such as oak bark. In the process from raw hides to a final product the transformation happens slowly in wooden drums according to traditional methods. This is a process based on the use of natural tannins and machinery, but the most important elements are patience and time.

Vegetable tanned leathers have an open structure that allows the material to breathe. Among the various tanning methods, the vegetable tanning is the only one able to give leather a unique characteristic look, and at the same time being the most natural and environmentally friendly process. It can join comfort and look, fashion and tradition, distinctiveness, and versatility in the product. Our vegetable tanned leathers come from Tärnsjö Garveri and Stolz, the most exclusive range in our collection.

CHROMIUM TANNED SEMI-ANILINE LEATHER
Chromium tanning is the industry standard for furniture leathers, especially when it comes to public use. As with the vegetable tanned leathers, Eikund source only the best to ensure durability. To guarantee lightfastness and breathability, the leathers are finished with a light topcoat that provides protection and a semi-aniline quality. This maintains the leather softness and colour for many decades to come. Our protected hides come from Sørensen Leather and is the finest of its type.
