Coming from Sztum
Leather restoration — Sztum
From Sztum we most often get furniture — sofas and corner sofas that are too good to throw away and too worn to leave as they are.
A corner sofa in real leather can outlive two sets of faux-leather furniture. The trouble is that it wears unevenly: the seats and armrests lose colour and grain, while the backs look almost new.
What exactly we do with the furniture
We clean, soften stiffened areas, fill worn spots, then re-colour the whole thing evenly and protect it. With unpigmented leathers — aniline and semi-aniline — we use different chemistry from pigmented furniture, because an opaque coating would kill their natural grain pattern.
Can the colour be changed
Yes, on pigmented leathers. It's a common reason people bring furniture in: the sofa is solid, but its colour no longer suits the room.
Transport
With corner sofas it's usually enough to bring the removable covers and cushions. If the piece can't be taken apart, we arrange transport for the whole thing — from Sztum it's about an hour's drive.
What customers from Sztum bring us most often
Each of these services has its own page — with a description, the course of work and photos.
Wear and hole repair
Filling with repair compound and recreating the leather grain, so the repaired area doesn't stand out as a smooth patch.

Uncoated leathers need different chemistry and a different technique than pigmented car upholstery — otherwise the finish comes off along with the dirt.
More about this serviceLeather cleaning
The starting point for every restoration. On dirty leather no colour or protector will hold.
More about this serviceA sofa too good to throw away
A leather sofa from a dozen or so years ago usually has a better frame and thicker leather than a new piece of furniture at the same price. It wears in three places: on the seats, on the headrests from hair and on the armrests from hands. The rest of the leather is usually in good condition, just faded.
What kind of leather it is
The first question with furniture: pigmented, aniline or semi-aniline leather. Pigmented leather has a coating with pigment and is restored much like car upholstery. Aniline has no coating — it absorbs everything, including the wrong colour, so it needs completely different products. Confusing the two ends in stains that can no longer be undone.
What we do
Cleaning, filling worn areas on the seats and armrests, colouring the whole piece in one shade and protecting it. With corner sofas we also agree whether to restore the whole set or only the most worn modules.
