Duresta
Duresta has been making high quality upholstery in England for over 70 years.
The factory is located in Long Eaton, a Nottinghamshire town renowned for the skill of its people in all aspects of furniture making.
Beginning with the traditional joinery of frame makers, through to fabric cutting and sewing expertise, you will find that Duresta combines these skills with the best materials available to produce long lasting sumptuously comfortable upholstery.
Duresta always bear in mind that sofas and chairs are not merely functional objects for seating. They also play an important part in establishing the character of the room they are set in. Although Duresta designs naturally respond to changing tastes, at the heart of each item lies Classic English Style, which throughout the world, is generally considered to have a flavour of understatement, subtlety and fine proportion.
Duresta offers a very large range of fabrics which are sourced internationally to ensure the widest choice of styles and colours. These are individually hand cut and expertly sewn with separate valances applied by hand slipstitching. All undergo rigorous quality testing to reduce the incidence of premature wear and tear.
Experience the true meaning of comfort.

Duresta Leather Collection
There is much to consider when choosing leather furniture as it is available in a great variety of qualities and finishes. Duresta manufacture upholstery to the highest standards and always endeavour to retain the natural beauty and integrity of good quality materials.
Only the top 5% of hides produced are selected for aniline dyeing and subsequent use by Duresta. The leather is soaked in transparent dye which allows natural marks to remain visible. Every hide is unique and will exhibit colour fluctuations due to the tendency of leather to accept dyes differently in specific areas.
Natural markings such as neck and belly wrinkles, healed scars, scratches and insect bites are normal. It is these, combined with the varied and interesting textures and colour effects, which expert craftsmen carefully exploit during tailoring to best reveal the full character and beauty of the material. It is important to appreciate that these characteristics will be present, they are a natural hallmark and distinguish top grain aniline leather from the lesser grades of leather used by the vast majority of manufacturers.
Top quality aniline hides, such as those used by Duresta, will gain in character over the years. Most scuffs and scratches will appear and fade during use, and given the care due to any of your favourite possessions, your Duresta leather upholstery will endure for a very long time.
