American Leather factory; the
Matteo sofa in Grappa Cream
and Elton Re-Invented Recliner
in Iris Fossil; and the Waverly
accent chair, shown in Bison
White and Grappa Cream
Such creations elicit the same wow factor as the sleeper, with each design
decision thoughtfully implemented to heighten its appeal to users, like opting
for the tailored European upholstery method, cushions that promise longevity,
or a lifetime warranty on its notched-and-glued frames.
A new focus on American Leather's vast furniture capabilities doesn't mean
it is resting its laurels on the Comfort Sleeper. Every new edition is significantly
improved, and in the ninth, most recent iteration, " we took about 10 pounds
out of the mechanism, which makes it even easier to open, and we made the
mattress-an 80-inch sleep surface-25 percent thicker, all at no added cost
to customers, " McIntosh elaborates.
Production of all pieces is underpinned by ecologically sound practices.
American Leather is a founding member of the Sustainable Furnishings
Council, for example, so all woods used for its frames are harvested from
sustainable forests. It also takes a zero-waste approach, recycling foam and
fabric cuttings, and as a replacement for petrochemicals, is increasing its
percentage of polyols extracted from American-grown soybeans.
Celebrating its employees from around the world is also a core hallmark of
American Leather. In the factory's breakroom, " we display over 30 flags from
the rafters, each representing the country of origin of our artisans, " McIntosh
says. " While diversity is often taught, we have long demonstrated that it can be
led by example. " ❙❘❚
