Sorensen Elegance Leather is firm yet flexible with visible, natural markings. An Aniline leather with richness and smoothness, the luxurious leather is considered one of the classics of all classics. Each hide is truly unique in terms of the hue and the surface itself.
Sorensen Vegetal Leather is considered a 'naked' analine leather that will develop a lovely, natural patina over time depending on its use. Purely vegetable-tanned with extracts from the mimosa plant, the leather is high quality, un-dyed leather and features its original colour, which becomes a beautiful light nut-brown colour. Soft, subtle and susceptible to light, each hide is unique with natural markings, with less than 1% of all hides in the world being used for this type of exclusive leather.

Designed by
Finn Juhl was born on the 30th January 1912 in Frederiksberg, Denmark.
Although trained in architecture, it was his modern furniture designs that made him an international name. His first pieces of furniture were designed for his own apartment and were manufactured by the young Danish carpenter, Niels Vodder.
In 1946 Juhl got his first major interior assignment at Bing and Grøndahl’s store at Amagertorv in Copenhagen. This later became one of his main works and was awarded with the Eckersberg Medal in 1947. Soon after, he was given the opportunity to help furnish the new headquarters of the United Nations in NY - something which established his name with the American audience.
He is most famous today for his iconic furniture designs including the Chieftan Armchair and the 108 Dining Chair which are now produced by the House of Finn Juhl.
