Bartoli Design is behind the 1085 Edition chair made with natural hide. Designed for Kristalia, the chair’s wooden structure will stand the test of time remaining unchanged, while the hide will move and change color and texture as it ages.
Bartoli worked with Conceria Presot, an Italian tannery with haute couture experience, which inspired the visible stitching that helps the hide transition from the backrest to the seat.
On the back, a visible tie-rod helps keep the hide tight over the years as it naturally stretches out.

So other chairs do not age over time? Oh, good, I don’t have to worry about mine!

I think everything ages with time, though in this case it will change color, ooh and i think it may wrinkle up.

Everything ages but most/many materials of which furniture is made, doesnt age in beauty.
I think most designers/producers dont really think about how a certain material ages – also customers rarely look at this point.
They always think everything will stay forever the same way/shape as when they bought the piece…
But looking at the price of this piece, even if very nice … not bad indeed.

Everything “ages with time”. They must have meant “improves with time”.
