Gallery – Materials & Finish
-
The seats were upholstered in a luxurious Truffle Brown (ADI-4141) aviation leather, offering a rich and sophisticated tone.
-
The centre inserts were perforated (HP1) to provide breathability, while the control boots were covered in matching leather to maintain a cohesive design throughout.
-
Decorative stitching was done in a lighter contrasting tone, accentuating the seat lines and complementing the overall design, ensuring both comfort and style.
The Client
