Leather is an icon of Argentina, like Maradona and Messi, beef, mate, and the tango. It is globally known for its quality, however, not many people know the origin of its prestige. Argentina is an ideal country to produce leather: large extensions of grasslands with mild weather, allowing for free-range farming and abundance.

The cattle do not require additional feed, resulting in a fine grain, flexible, soft, durable, and resistant product that is deliciously scented with woody and sweet notes.

In contrast to other replications of the BKF design, we pride ourselves on the quality and longevity of our leather. Every chair is handmade of pure 100% high-quality vegetable tanned leather, beautifully sewn, and double-stitched to reinforce.

We use the same leather used to manufacture polo boots and saddles.

The most difficult part is when we stitch the edge of each leather cover. It's a 4-meter long and 4-cm wide leather piece folded to make the rounded part while being stitched.

Another difficult part is dyeing the leather and making the right color as it depends on appropriate climate conditions.

Each leather cover is unique because it’s handmade and reflects the moment it was made. Our expert team of designers and leather craftsmen work with the highest quality Argentine hides and leather to ensure every chair retains the quality and customized touch we guarantee our clients.

The leather is from the Argentine Pampas, northwest of Buenos Aires where we get most of our grass-fed cow production. That's the reason we have great leather quality as the cows are fed by grass, and it's almost organic as no chemicals are used.

After sitting in the chair for a week or so, it should mold and stretch to look like the chairs on our site—the more you use them, the softer the leather becomes.

Advantages: "Vegetable tanning is environmentally friendly and produces rich, natural tones. It’s a process steeped in tradition with highly skilled craftsmen, leading to high-quality leather that evolves over time."

Disadvantages: "It can take up to 65 days to process sheep leather and is more expensive than chrome-tanned products."

Polo is our thickest leather, used for crafting polo boots and saddles. Vaqueta is thinner, with 3.2 mm thickness versus 2 mm.

Polo leather lasts a lifetime and improves with age, while Vaqueta is lighter but still strong enough to support up to 160 kg.

Both are dyed using brown vegetable tanning, but the Polo Malbec has a reddish touch due to 15% red tannin in the mix.

The BKF chair is considered one of the most prominent pieces of modernist industrial design in the last half-century, symbolizing the universal and timeless qualities of Argentine design.
