The things people ask  

1. Why is our leather so special?
We use top grain leather, which is the most luxurious in the world. Each piece has undergone a special 5 week tanning process involving natural oils to give it a beautiful finish. To produce our Vintage leather, our craftsmen carefully hand finish each piece in a variety of ageing processes, each taking a considerable amount of time and detailed work.

Each piece of leather used maintains its natural pigmentation, which means that no sofa or armchair is exactly the same – making it unique to you. The beauty of our top grain leather also means that it breathes easily and wears for longer; so you can enjoy it for years to come.

2. Do the markings weaken the leather?
No, they merely add to its individuality and appeal.

3. Why is Halo's upholstery so comfortable?
Each of our seat cushions has a foam filling which has a layer of fibre on top. The density of the foam allows the seat cushions to mould to your body as you relax and the fibres wrap around you to give you that welcoming softness. It also means there’s no need to plump them before you go to bed at night!

4. Is there a problem with colour matches between sofa and chair?
Because each item from our leather upholstery range is unique, there are always slight variations from hide to hide. We are careful to ensure however that your sofa and chairs are made from the same “batch” of leather, so we can colour match the two as much as possible.

5. How should I look after the leather?
Don’t worry – all of our leather upholstery is easy to keep clean. The top grain leather doesn’t need feeding. Simply dust the leather with a damp cloth regularly and vacuum the seat platforms to remove any biscuit crumbs.

6. Why is our wood so special?
We only sell furniture made from the finest materials and ensure that the natural grains and knots which help to give the wood character are maintained.

7. How should I look after the wood?
All of our wood furniture has been finished using either a lacquer or wax, to protect the wood whilst maintaining its natural beauty. Our lacquered finish is extremely durable, which makes furniture easy to look after. To keep it looking its best, simply polish regularly using a clean damp cloth. Waxed furniture is designed to fade, it’s completely normal. There is a quick and easy way you can help bring it back to life and encourage those natural grains to stand out! We recommend using Fiddes Supreme Stripped Pine wax. Simply apply according to the manufacturer’s instructions using a clean cloth.

8. How is my furniture made?
We use specially cured hardwoods and plywood to make the frames of our chairs, which also have a fully-webbed seating system to support you. For our wood furniture we source a variety of woods from around the world such as ash, oak and pine. We ensure that we source, work and act ethically and look to put back what we take out. We are also constantly reviewing and seeking improvement for our processes to minimise our impact on the environment, as we believe that our planet is also our home and should be kept beautiful too.
