Office armchair in real alligator skin

Real alligator skin upholstery, not a farmed alligator (alligator mississippiensis) for luxury office armchairs by Mascheroni, on LaMercanti. This armchair was made from 4 mississippiensis alligator skins, the average age of the alligators being 60. Alligator skins with these specific characteristics and origin are particularly beautiful and show extraordinary features. The treatment and tanning process used to prepare these alligator skins are traditional and include 6 stages performed over about 60 days. This particular process ensures the skins have a wonderful look, are long lasting, strong and resistant both to light and to wear and tear.


The first treatment stage after tanning consists in hand cutting the skins to the required shape. The pieces are then paired with a calf skin to make them resistant to tear. Then they are precision cut using a template to guarantee the perfect shape. Finally the pieces of alligator skin and calf skin are sewn together. All the sewn pieces can then be gradually assembled to make the armchair upholstery. When all the pieces have been sewn together to make the armchair upholstery the alligator skin is ready for the last treatment. The skin is hand dabbed with a protective cream twice and finally it is polished.

Mascheroni artistic manufacture

Mascheroni, along with manual skills, use only high-quality materials: a file of wood of valuable breeds, a natural skin of special manufacture 😉

“The craftsman isn’t ever following a single line of instruction. He’s making decisions as he goes along. For that reason he’ll be absorbed and attentive to what he’s doing even though he doesn’t deliberately contrive this. His motions and the machine are in a kind of harmony. He isn’t following any set of written instructions because the nature of the material at hand determines his thoughts and motions, which simultaneously change the nature of the material at hand. The material and his thoughts are changing together in a progression of changes until his mind’s at rest at the same time the material’s right.”

“Sounds like art,” the instructor says.
“Well, it is art,” I say.
