Designers are finding new ways of using leather to add depth and character within interiors. Verona, the popular pure-aniline leather from the Contemporary Leathers collection, displays its versatility in recent high profile projects.

In the exciting cosmetic brand Aesop’s flagship Collins St Melbourne store, the Aesop creative team and Kerstin Thompson Architects incorporated a curtain made from Verona to evoke a refined old-world gentleman’s club.
Having a passion for the romance, textures and patinas in a hotel, Don Cameron and a group of creatives featured Verona in the rooms and public areas of Canberra’s Hotel Hotel, a new concept in boutique hotel design.
In the iconic Bourbon, Paul Kelly has taken the space to an international level by using quality finishes and details, such as using Verona in elegant stitched panelling and interlacing strips of Phoenix, also from the Contemporary Leathers collection, with wood and brass.
The natural beauty of Verona is enhanced with age, and has become an ideal product for designers to reflect the unique personality of these beautifully designed spaces.
