The underside of the cushions is ciglé Ligne Roset. The seat buttons are attached to the shell. The model has been reupholstered. Foam: polyurethane.leather: brown. Semi-aniline leatherSemi-aniline leather is a high quality tanned hide immersed in a vegetable bath. The dye penetrates deep into the leather but does not color it. It forms a very thin protective layer that maintains the natural look and feel of the hide. Semi-aniline leather has an additional treatment that makes it more resistant than aniline leather. It has a better resistance to light and breathes better. Reference : 245877
