hello everyone. long time since i have posted/bought anything since i now live in china for the current moment. (designing furniture for a few companies)
since we have a few factories connected to our company and import massive amounts of leather from Brazil, i have an opportunity of getting a hide for next to nothing so i can reupholster my chair as the large cushions are in bad shape and with wear to the armrest as well
since i am in china, and chair in climate storage over 8000 miles away, i am hoping for someone to help me out and take some close up pictures of the grain. maybe thickness of hide and any other things from there early Lounge chair that could help me pick out a passable replacement. i know its a smoother, shinny type of leather on the thin side as well but i just dont remember the grain definition etc
Any help would be much appreciated
