At Synargy, we bring you a premium range of leather furniture that exudes luxury and offers a soft, unparalleled touch.

Our lounge suites stand out from the rest, thanks to our meticulous selection of top grain corrected cow hide, known for its remarkable softness, durability, and ease of maintenance.

As a natural product, our leather proudly displays the marks of its past life, including wrinkles, scars, and slight imperfections:

Rather than flaws, these are authentic signs of the leather's character. Embrace the uniqueness of your Synargy range furniture, as no two hides are alike, ensuring each piece carries nature's distinct signature.

What sets our Synargy ranges apart is the use of corrected top grain leather, offering you the best of both worlds: a soft feel and exceptional durability.

This leather is obtained from the top layer of the hide after splitting. To achieve a uniform finish, we lightly sand the surface to correct any excessive imperfections like scars or insect bites.

A new grain pattern is then embossed, resulting in an even, consistent appearance. For added resilience in everyday life, a protective pigment is applied.

Routine Maintenance
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your leather investment, it's essential to care for it as you would your own skin.

Regular cleaning and moisturizing are crucial to keep it soft and hydrated. For routine maintenance, we recommend:

  • Simply dust and vacuum your furniture, paying attention to crevices and bottoms.

  • Using a quality leather conditioner every 4-6 months to nourish the leather.

  • Protect your furniture from direct sunlight where possible, as prolonged exposure can cause fading.

  • For minor scratches, gently buff the surface with a chamois or clean finger. If needed, lightly moisturize with distilled water to work out the scratches.

Some other pointers to keep in mind to protect your leather lounge suite and ensure it stays looking good and feeling comfortable for years to come:

  • Do not apply water to try wash spills such as butter, or other oils/greases (simply wipe clean with a dry cloth)

  • Avoid using furniture polish, saddle soaps, oil, abrasive cleaners, soaps or varnish for any reason. The leather has been permanently preserved in the tanning process and needs no maintenance other than the simple cleaning recommended.

  • Maintain at least 2 metres distance between the furniture and heat sources such as heaters, fireplaces etc

  • Try to keep pets off furniture where possible. Claws can cause scratches, and oils from skin and fur can result in premature deterioration of the leather surfaces

At Synargy Furniture, we are committed to providing you with not only exquisite furniture but also the knowledge to care for it properly.

Embrace the authentic beauty of our leather, and let it grace your space for years to come.
