Mark collection by Luke Leather

Frame: The wooden frame on this collection is composed of beech wood and European spruce. These woods are selected at source and seasoned for a minimum of 2 years to ensure long term durability. All of the corners and load bearing areas of our frames are additionally secured with heavy duty corner blocks to add to the strength and durability of the frame. Upon completion of the construction of the frame, we encase the entire structure. This process ensures the strength and integrity of the frame. We the put one inch of foam around the frame before upholstery so that when you touch the sides and backs you notice a firm/soft sensation not four inches of play between the leather and frame as you would find with most of our competitors. Suspension Unit: We incorporate in our suspension unit heavy duty nine gauge sinuous spring steel. These “S” shaped steel springs are fastened to the top of the front rail and run from the front to the back of the piece two inches apart. These springs are attached to the frame using heavy duty clips. Two firm rods are used to hold the springs in place which offers additional durability to the sitting area, both on the front and back of each individual seat. We also attach a canvas barrier between the foam and the steel springs. This does not allow the foam to wear. We use five steel springs per seat to ensure the strength, comfort and durability of the foam cushion core. We will continue to use heavy duty European elastic webbing to support the back and seat cushions only. This material holds 720 pounds of pressure per square inch. In addition: we use two solid wooden stretchers that runs front to back to stabilize and strengthen the frame against the tension of the steel sinuous springs. This adds to the strength of the frame itself. Leather: 150 Whiskey: The leather on this model is semi aniline. This means that the leather is colored through and through and does possess a light coat of polyurethane finish on the surface of the leather. This gives the consumer versatility in wear and use. The most common household stains can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if addressed within minutes of the spill, spot or stain. The grain texture on this leather is natural and antiqued. This leather is designed and marketed to resemble an old world distressed look and feel. You will notice some color variations and grain variations between each piece and sometimes within the same piece. These are natural characteristics and should not be considered unusual. Cushions & Seating: The seat cushions are composed of polyurethane foam cores with a high quality Dacron topper on the surface for comfort. The density of these fixed cushions will vary from 2.0 to 2.3. This is a unit of measurement of the number of porous holes in the cushion. The standard quality in our industry would be 1.8. The fixed back cushions are composed of Dacron fiber which is blown in to vertically and horizontally channeled bags. This ensures that the proper amount of Dacron is blown in the same every time. Sales Features and Benefits of the Mark Collection: This model is designed for the consumer that is looking for the “LOFT” look. It is urban and considered to be casual traditional. The pieces are all very American with pinpoint design and style. The antiqued whiskey leather will match virtually any décor and color scheme.
