Creating a future classic means understanding intimately the materials used and how they will age and evolve over the years. Carefully considered leathers and fabrics have been chosen for Mena leaving you empowered to feel confident in your choice no matter which option you choose.
Leather
Elegantly classic, a designer leather sofa is a wonderful option helping to minimise odours and hairs from pets and the easiest to attend to accidental spills. Designer leather sofas age gracefully looking good for decades to come providing timeless style. Our Mena sofa design is offered in two variations of premium aniline leather being full aniline leather or semi-aniline leather. The difference between the two is attributed to a thin breathable protective topcoat applied to semi-aniline leathers.

Velvet
Beautifully luxurious, velvet couch designs exude layers of softness and a sensual plush touch perfect for moodier statement pieces. Sumptuous in appearance, velvet pairs exquisitely with the diamond quilting of the Mena designer sofa.
