SULKY – The Art of Leather

::NEW PICKS::

Edelman Leather
SFDC Galleria #308

We all know that Louis Vuitton is the epitome of Luxury.  The “Epi” leather is a classic recognized world-wide without a word, just a wink.  Colors, vibrant & bold, or more traditional, are all part of Luxury.  This is defined by the quality a brand presents and the service that goes along with that. 

To keep the integrity of this sophisticated classic Edelman revitalized their warm palette of neutrals, then added a bit of art and whimsy with new modern colors. 

This texture is a staple, an icon for luxury.  A look that says “chic and glamorous.” A sophisticated classic, always and forever.

Visit Edelman Leather and get your first peek at Sulky in the SFDC Galleria #308.

Edelman Accents in Edelman Leather

::NEW PICKS::

Edelman Leather
SFDC Galleria #308

That special look away from the ordinary is what Edelman brings to interiors – consistent quality hides finished naturally and with innovation.  The Edelman line consists of more than 750 colors and over 80 products.  Custom coloring is the norm here, offering designers TOTAL FREEDOM – freedom in color, texture & style. A pillow to go is an accent anywhere.  Wonderful to toss on any piece of furniture to create a new and fresh mood.  Mix & match. 

The beginning: Back in the mid 1950’s, Teddy and Arthur Edelman not only fell in love, but together fell in love with the family’s specialty reptile leather business, creating works of art from animal hides.   In 1964, with their new friend, Andy Warhol doing their graphic design, they became the leading leather source for the fashion industry, winning the Coty Award and the Neiman-Marcus Award.  In 1981, they discovered a void in high-end upholstery leathers and launched EDELMAN LEATHER – making a superb leather collection for architects and interior designers whom they felt were looking for the Best of the Best.

Matte & Gloss

::NEW PICKS::

Edelman Leather
SFDC Galleria #308

Matte & Gloss plays with extremes.  It plays with the subtle shadowing matte and gloss can create when next to each other and with how light is absorbed and reflected on surfaces.  The way that the light hits a piece of glass versus the way that light is absorbed into a piece of stone.

Drawing inspiration from the gloss that  rain makes on fresh asphalt…the contrast of a matte quilted leather against the gloss of a fur trim on a classic Chanel coat.  Imagine the impact of changing the finish on a car from the gloss that has always been known to be matte.

Edelman played with some existing textures; Suede, Cavallini and Napoli.  They added a few new unexpected twists, experimenting with the stripes through embossing various finishes – this will offer a subtle texture shift.  They added the Ostrich print on the Cavallini because they just couldn’t resist….it makes the designers smile.

This collection offers an exciting opportunity for wall panels, tone on tone upholsteries, and texture plays within interiors.

HIPPIE COW

::NEW PICKS::

Edelman Leather
SFDC Galleria #308

Purple Sunset

We call her HIPPIE COW!  A fresh, fun and flirty way to uplift the mood in any space or room.  HIPPIE COW is a tie dyed hair-on hide reminding us all of the imminent freedom of which we have the luxury to design with. 

Her hair is long and natural.  Never will one rug look like another, oh the beauty of truly being free!

“Purple Sunset” and “Wild Strawberry” make us smile, perhaps bringing a child-like innocence back.  “The Man Grey” with its hints of blues, coloring an environment outside the box .

Chic, fun, flirty, simply happy.

Hop in that VW, put on some Joplin tunes and drive over to Edelman Leather and shop the HIPPIE COW collection today!  Peace, man.

Leather Fur Rugs at Edelman Leather

::NEW PICKS::

Edelman Leather
Galleria #308

We tan leather. This time the leather is the hide of a cow with the fur (hair) left on. This breed of cow is without the big spotted circles as on most cow hides. These are all over beige/grey/brown/black… and when tanned in the “fur on” process, cut into rectangles and sewn together in an old HERRINGBONE pattern (Spina da Pesce), they become alive, important, dynamic. 

The natural colors of the cow have perhaps six shades of grey/taupe and, when cut into rectangles and sewn, the highlights of each color play with each other and you get a most dramatic effect.  The pattern, a Trompe L’oeil, makes the floor seem to lift.

The pattern looks like the Chrysler Building in New York. The rug is architectural and inspiring and soft under foot. This is Edelman at their best.
