The ultimate in leather… a refined aniline leather with a contemporary colour palette, Ultimo is an outstanding natural leather.
It is supremely soft to the touch and the natural features of the hide are celebrated in every piece of furniture.
Each hide will exhibit distinctive natural characteristics and therefore no two hides are the same. Ultimo is a sophisticated leather for discerning clients who understand and desire the perfect imperfection of nature.

Ultimo is a pure aniline leather, produced on premium European hides. Other than the colour dye, the product is entirely natural, with all the hallmarks of aniline leather clearly visible to the naked eye. The finest hide selection and advanced tanning process help to create the remarkably supple feel of Ultimo, which continues to enhance and soften over time.
The magnificence of full aniline leather, combined with the assurance of stain protection in the tanning drum, creates a lightly protected end product that will evolve to look and feel better as the furniture ages.
All colours are in stock in our Australian warehouse and available for immediate off-the-shelf delivery.
Custom colours are available on request.

Ultimo will require care and maintenance to continually offer the lasting beauty and comfort that only leather can provide.
Protect from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure may cause the leather to fade over time.
Protect leather from direct heat sources and heating vents.
Vacuum regularly using soft brush attachments to remove dust & grit.
Remove spills by blotting with a soft & absorbent colourfast cloth.
We recommend the use of Leather Master products for aniline leathers to spot clean and to revitalise your leather.
Do not use detergents, solvents or abrasive cleaners. Do not dry clean or machine wash.
Deterioration arising from incorrect or inadequate maintenance are not considered faults in the leather and will void any warranty.
