It is no secret designer Lisa Hilland is fond of working with leather as one her favourite materials. Collaborating with Elmo, a leading manufacturer of exclusive leather based in Svenljunga Sweden, Lisa Hilland set out to explore how the beautiful qualities of leather can be showed off at its best.

“I started to experiment with the traditional chesterfield leather upholstery technique with fresh design approach, giving it a renaissance in a new pattern and updated design approach. The result is ’Halo Armchair’ with a luxorious feel made out of softest pearl Elmo leather. Nothing beats a natural material like leather; it’s softness, colour, the small varieties in its appearance and the wonderful smell. Leather has a long life cycle and ages beautifully when handled with care. I want this anyone who sits in this chair to feel really special – surrounded by a beautiful halo pattern with the great sensation of leather.”
