Leather-Wrapped Details: Soft Boundaries for Furniture

A set of furniture with leather details. Leather is not used as soft upholstery for seating, but rather to wrap edges and contact areas: a piece of saddle leather is inlaid in the center of a desk surface, framed by wood; a cabinet door handle is a leather cord threaded through a hole; the upper edge of a chair armrest is wrapped with a strip of leather and stitched with visible seams; the edge of a shelf is finished with a leather trim. The leather is vegetable-tanned saddle leather, a warm brown color, thick and stiff, with undyed cut edges showing a lighter cross-section. The stitching is thick linen thread, sewn with a double-needle topstitch, with even stitch spacing. Paired with walnut and brass. Avoid: using soft and thin sofa leather, making leather into large-area soft upholstery, hiding stitching, using shiny patent leather.

一組以皮革處理細部的家具。皮革不是作為坐面的軟包,而是被用來包覆邊界與接觸的部位:書桌的檯面中央嵌著一塊馬鞍皮,四周以木框圍住;櫃門的把手是一條穿過孔洞的皮繩;椅子的扶手上緣纏繞一圈皮革並以明線縫合;層板的邊緣包一道皮革收邊。皮革是植鞣的馬鞍皮,顏色是溫暖的褐,厚而硬挺,邊緣切口未染色,呈現淺色的斷面。縫線是粗的亞麻線,以雙針明線縫製,針距均勻。搭配胡桃木與黃銅。避免:使用軟而薄的沙發皮、把皮革做成大面積的軟包、隱藏縫線、使用光亮的漆皮。
