For some customers, “leather is leather”, but this is not the case as there are huge differences between the different types of leather. Broadly speaking, office chairs can be upholstered in leather, bonded leather or faux leather, and each variant is quite different from the next. Fundamentally, leather is a natural product that comes directly from an animal hide, whereas bonded leather and faux leather are synthetic, or man-made products. Find out about the different types of leather.
