The first Alpine couch was manufactured in 1969. Since then, Alpine’s reputation for high quality, upmarket lounge furniture has resulted in the expansion of the range into reclining (motion) and static suites, couches and occasional chairs in both full grain leather and fabric.

Let your lounge suite tell its own unforgettable story that is as unique as you are. You can select your preferred fabric for your recliner or lounge suite that suits your taste and personality. This is what makes Alpine and the full grain leather and fabrics so appealing.
Characteristics:
Corrected Grain (Pigmented) leather has an applied surface finish of pigments and sealer coats. It is therefore better able to resist marking and spillages, but has a colder, firmer feel due to the correction process. It has a regular texture that is printed onto the heavily pigmented surface and disguises the irregularities within the hide.
Characteristics:
Semi nu-buck is buffed Aniline leather with all the natural markings, dyed through, giving a velvety suede touch, yet with an authentic rugged appearance. Shade variations are normal and add to the character of the aged look. This leather type will take on natural skin oils from body contact and will have a tendency to go darker, shinier and smoother in these areas – this is a natural occurrence and will enhance the characteristic of the leather with time.
Characteristics:
This type of leather is stylish and more natural looking. The finish is a mixture of dye and pigment, which gives a uniform look, but does not disguise all natural markings and scars on the hide, which should not be seen as faults. These markings are what gives leather furniture its character and authenticity and differentiates this leather from Corrected Grain.
We always endeavour to provide a degree of uniformity, but to produce a sofa it may take at least three hides and as no two hides are identical there may be substantial variation in shade and texture even within the same hide. This is a characteristic of the leather and is what distinguishes Semi Aniline leather from Corrected Grain. This gives this leather type a softer handle and more natural appeal.
Characteristics:
Full aniline leather is THE most rewarding for leather connoisseurs. It has a wonderful silky touch and the look has great depth. An aniline finish is pure-dye (dyed through), then sprayed with a dye-mixture and substances that do not disguise any natural markings and scars on the hide. These markings should not be seen as faults, but natural variations that give our leather furniture its character and authenticity.
We always endeavour to provide a degree of uniformity, but to produce a sofa it may take at least three hides and as no two hides are identical, there may also be substantial variation in shade and texture even within the same hide. This is a property of the leather and is what distinguishes Full Aniline as the leather for the connoisseur. This gives the leather a distinctively unique look.
With age, your leather furniture will mould to your body shape and colours may mellow and change according to its use and environment, making the piece of furniture uniquely your own.
Full aniline leather has a tendency to absorb body oils and perspiration, which will cause leather to darken on contact areas.
Aniline leather finish is sensitive to light – please keep away from windows and areas with direct sunlight.
