B&B Italia Leather Repair

The frame is covered for ten years. The cover, for twenty-six months — that is B&B Italia's own guarantee, and normal wear over time is excluded from both. We repair the part it stops covering first: the leather you actually sit on.

Preserve iconic materials

B&B Italia specifies fine aniline and semi-aniline hides, dense woven cloth from makers like Alcantara, and precise piped seams. Every B&B Italia leather repair we take on is matched to the finish already on the piece, so the surface keeps the hand and sheen it left the factory with.

Before and after results

Real repairs, lasting value

Every B&B Italia leather repair shown here was carried out on a customer’s own piece. Nothing was re-covered: the original leather was cleaned, rebuilt, recoloured and put back into daily use.

Common issues we repair

Fix the damage, keep the original

Most of what reaches us starts small — a claw mark, a rubbed arm, a seat that has quietly lost its colour. Caught early, the original hide stays on the frame.

Preserve the design. Care for the details.

Every B&B Italia leather repair starts by reading the leather, the finish and the construction before we quote. A cold-moulded B&B Italia shell is not repaired the way a sprung frame is, and the cover has to come off and go back the way the factory fitted it.

Questions owners ask

Before you send photos

The five things that come up most often before a B&B Italia leather repair is booked.

01

Does the B&B Italia warranty cover worn leather?

No. The frame is guaranteed for ten years and the cover for twenty-six months, and normal wear over time is excluded from both. That gap is exactly what this service exists to close.

02

Can the original leather be saved, or does it have to be re-covered?

In most cases it is repaired. Scratches, scuffs, cracking, tears, stains and lost colour are all worked on the hide already on the frame. Re-covering is the last option, not the first.

03

Will the repair match the rest of the piece?

Colour is mixed against the panel beside the damage rather than off a chart, and the finish is rebuilt to the same sheen. On an aniline hide that means keeping the depth the leather already has instead of painting over it.

04

Do you work in the home, or does the piece have to leave?

Most B&B Italia leather repair is done in your home, around your furniture. Full recolours and structural work travel to the Brooklyn workshop and come back to you.

05

Can you still work on a discontinued model?

Yes. A discontinued frame is the strongest reason to repair rather than replace, because the original cover is no longer offered.
