Only pure block color cloth is cutting on the machine. If at that spot is fifty-fifty a slight pattern inwards the stuff they are cutting past times mitt to ensure it is done perfectly.
I was especially blown away past times the skilled expertise of those working with the beautiful leathers. As I showed previously, the leathers are showtime cutting past times hand. At the same fourth dimension they are checked closely for whatever markings, as fifty-fifty the most minuscule ones must live removed.

A expression at some of the newer designs together with 2 of my personal favourites, the Eyes Arm chair designed past times Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen (top image) is create for packaging together with delivery.
