Casa Covre: The Art of Italian Leather Furniture Now on 101domus

Casa Covre Brings the Art of Italian Leather Furniture to 101domus

One of Italy's most distinctive voices in contemporary craftsmanship has joined the 101domus platform. Casa Covre brings a body of work where italian leather furniture is elevated into a language of its own — objects born from the ancient art of saddlery, where hide and leather are cut, shaped and stitched with the precision of a tailor and the strength of a master saddler.

Covre is a family name before it is a brand. For generations the Covre workshop has worked leather and hide, supplying leather-covered components to the leading names of the high-end furniture industry. With Casa Covre, the new generation — Matteo and Eleonora Covre — turns that inherited mastery into a full catalogue of furniture, sold directly and designed for refined, contemporary interiors. For architects, interior designers and private clients, its arrival adds a rare material intelligence that few houses can claim.

The Saddlery Tradition Behind Italian Leather Furniture

What sets Casa Covre apart is the craft at its foundation. "Selleria" — saddlery — was historically the workshop where saddles, harnesses and carriage fittings were made from the most robust leather, shaped into curved surfaces through tailoring skill and joined with the distinctive "saddle stitch." Casa Covre carries that same discipline into furniture, fusing two cultures of high craftsmanship: the tailor and the saddler.

The result is visible in every piece. The Sydney armchair shows the philosophy at its clearest: instead of the soft upholstery typical of seating, the backrest is shaped in leather, its curved fan-like cuts recalling the lines of the Sydney Opera House. Transforming the work from "upholstery" to "saddlery" gives the piece a new expressive vocabulary without sacrificing comfort — the stitching details and material contrasts enrich the whole.

Leather Meets Wood, Marble and Metal

For Casa Covre, leather is never alone. The finest result comes from pairing hide with other materials — wood, marble, textiles and metal — in a range of finishes that opens up an enormous vocabulary of technical and aesthetic solutions. This dialogue between materials is where the collections find their sophistication.

The Sorrento round table is a clear expression of this idea: a large table designed to seat eight, with a teak top, legs covered in leather and a rotating central disk in green Bernina marble — a play of contrasts between warm wood, tactile leather and cool stone. The Corte table and the Urbino table extend the same logic, treating the dining table as an architecture of layered materials rather than a single surface.

A Nautical Sensibility in Contemporary Living

Casa Covre's home collections carry a distinctly nautical-inspired sensibility — solid, evocative and unmistakably crafted. Coffee tables and occasional pieces bring that spirit into everyday living, combining lightness of form with the tactile richness the house is known for.

The Ischia coffee table and the Tortuga coffee table show how the brand translates its material philosophy to a smaller scale — pieces that can be moved freely through the home, softening the contact between objects and surfaces with leather, and revealing the same careful finishing found in the larger works. Every item is crafted with honesty, passion and a deep commitment to sustainability, ensuring products that are unique, durable and refined.
