Know before you buy
Aniline leather is a natural, high-quality material that is not heavily corrected. Over time, it will develop a unique patina, softening in texture and deepening in color as it reacts to light, oils, and daily use.
The cushions are designed for a 'sink-in' experience. They utilize a multi-layer construction that combines a high-density foam core with memory foam and a down wrap to provide both structural support and plush comfort.
With an overall width of 72 inches, this sofa is compact and well-suited for apartments or smaller living rooms. Its architectural lines and 31-inch height help it maintain a low profile that doesn't overwhelm a room.
Yes, Lemieux et Cie offers a Customer's Own Leather (COL) option. You will need to provide 170 square feet of leather to complete the upholstery for this specific model.
No assembly is required. The Fontaine sofa is handmade and delivered via white glove service, meaning it will be placed in your room of choice by the delivery team.
Keep the leather away from direct sunlight to prevent uneven fading and dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the natural wood legs, use a gentle wood cleaner or a damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that could strip the finish.
