Waterproof nubuck, the material
combining elegance and practicability

The refined softness of the classic nubuck fabric combined with the characteristics of a modern material comes from an interpretation by Bontempi Casa.

Once upon a time there was a sofa made of nubuck, the object of desire for every bourgeois salon. Elegant and refined, with a velvety touch making it cosy and pleasant, while a light lived-in effect gives a vintage allure and a sense of uniqueness.

“How to clean nubuck?” this is the question that often comes out before making this choice, because nubuck in nature is a particularly delicate material, that cannot be treated with oils or detergents of any kind, so any stains are difficult to be removed completely.

Research and development are constant factors in the furnishing industry, and apply to materials used as coatings for sofas, chairs and other accessories as well. The nubuck, for example, is reinterpreted by Bontempi Casa as waterproof nubuck, a synthetic material that surprisingly recreates the soft and velvety finish of the leather with this manufacturing process and lends itself to a decidedly simpler maintenance.

It is in fact subjected to a water-repellent treatment that guarantees easy cleaning, making Bontempi Casa furniture in waterproof nubuck suitable for every use in every room of the house, including the kitchen, without any worries.
