Making the Icon

This stunning reproduction of the Florence Knoll 1956 Sofa Set is a Kardiel signature reproduction.

Created with the highest accuracy to detail you can have your own version of one of the most influential designer icons of the 20th century.

It is well known that Florence studied and collaborated with Mies Van Der Rohe. Knoll designed the classic trio using a durable stainless steel frame with minimal materials. Cubic cushions featuring compressed buttons in a purposeful and logical layout provide style and comfort to the supporting thin armed, minimalist frame. Originally meant to complement the classic innovations of Saarinen and Bertoia, the mid century modern style perfectly compliments todays modern home. Available in individual pieces or the entire Sofa, Loveseat and Chair set.

Genuine Vintage Distressed Leather

It begins with the selection of the South American Top Grain Aniline Hide. Artisans use a traditional 10 step tanning process to create the worn vintage appearance. The tradition of aging the leather has not changed over the years and requires between 13-15 hours of hand finishing per hide to achieve the initial intended vintage appearance. When upholstered onto furniture and used, the hide gradually takes on a greater vintage distressed appearance. Everyday wear enhances the exceedingly comfortable patina.

This series is upholstered in premium Top Grain Aniline European leather. This is a significant upgrade in leather options. Top Grain is the actual surface of the cowhide. While no one knows the actual number, a small percentage of furniture sold today is upholstered in Premium Top Grain Aniline leather. Some claim as low as 5%. Aniline dying describes one of the two processes in which color is applied to the leather with the dye penetrating the leather and extending beyond the surface, into the leather itself. For modern furniture requiring a clean aesthetic, Top Grain Aniline Leather is both “liquid vat” (deep penetrating) and surface dyed to achieve the main color selection and to conceal uneven tones and blemishes in the hide. Top grain aniline is the softest leather and naturally breaths well. Because Top Grain refers to the actual surface of the animal hide it presents a natural leather appearance you would expect. While it is true that raw Top Grain Aniline absorbs spills easier, furniture grade Top Grain leather features a stain resistant treatment making it exceptional for everyday lower maintenance use. Although rare, nothing wears, looks or feels better than premium Aniline Top Grain leather. Over time it patinas and becomes more comfortable versus wearing out.

“Split Grain” is the most common leather used on furniture. This reproduction has been upgraded to Top Aniline leather and does not use Split Grain leather. Nonetheless, this paragraph will help explain the difference in quality and price between the leather types. Split Grain is the underside of the hide that has been separated from the surface or “top” of the hide. While defined as actual leather, Split Grain leather does not have the natural surface grain of the top of the cowhide. A topical layer of insoluble pigment is applied to the surface of split grain leather, which is then stamped or “grain embossed” to imitate the surface appearance of actual leather. This topical layer contains the color that the leather will be.
