Southern Motion's leather has been developed to provide a consistent, soft and fashionable look.
MAXIMUS
Maximus is a thick-cut leather featuring a robust pebble grain. Perfectly suited for our furniture, Maximus is at home on popular motion or reclining styles as well as sofas, loveseats, chairs, and ottomans. The surface interest is highlighted by a subtle two-tone effect that creates visual depth. Soft and supple, Maximus has been lightly corrected to minimize natural grain inconsistencies.
Maximus hides are carefully selected, cut thicker, and then are tanned and dyed using today’s state-of-the-art methods. Hides are lightly corrected and a darker color is applied to create a two-tone effect. Finally, a medium-sheen topcoat is added to create a reflective or slightly shimmering surface and to help resist everyday stains and spills.
Available in an array of classic yet fashionable shades, Maximus displays an understated mottled two-tone coloration, in which a darker color is applied over a lighter crust color. The colorations used in Maximus were translated from ever-classic leather tones, but have been freshened and updated to today’s tastes. With an attractive pebble grain pattern and a soft hand, Maximus has a medium-sheen finish.
SANTA ROSA
Our leather Santa Rosa was made to capture the best of both worlds. This leather is extremely soft and powdery to the touch, much like the most expensive and high end of leathers. However it is made using a finish that prevents wear and tear that these most natural and aniline leathers can show wear from.
While still made on top grain domestic raw material, Santa Rosa utilizes a state of the art finish while still providing a hand that is as soft as any leather available. A subtle two-tone is used to add to this leather’s authenticity and visual interest. It’s also elegant and luxurious — a classic understated beauty, suitable for many furniture styles.
Available in a wide array of fashionable and classic shades, Santa Rosa features a petite pebble grain, buttery hand, and a slightly “grippy” surface treatment. It has a matte finish which is a perfect accompaniment to today's dryer fabric finishes.
ALFRESCO
Alfresco was developed to expand the application of authentic looks of leather onto a broader range of styles. This leather, because of the way it is artfully crafted, accurately recreates the ambiance of times gone by. The age-old tanning processes used to make Alfresco yields one of the softest leathers with one of the best hands in the business today.
We offer a tremendous array of colors, making this leather universally acceptable across all of our styles. Either alone, or in settings with fabric, Alfresco adds charm and grace to any room. The ever-popular hand rubbed finish also adds a unique flavor to each hide and assures a genuine, timeless and authentic appeal.
Hides are hand selected and processed using only the top 3% of all hides available, to meet the requirements to make this truly hand finished leather. The surfaces are slightly corrected to minimize surface markings, base colored and then rubbed by hand with a softly contrasting, transparent top color to create the tone-on-tone presentation. Two highly trained artisans can create only 10 hides of Alfresco each day, insuring a truly unique leather that creates a one of a kind piece of furniture. A clear topcoat is applied to help resist everyday stains and spills.
SURREAL
Surreal is an excellent choice for any furniture application, from stationary to motion, and from traditional styling to contemporary. This leather is designed to offer a soft touch while featuring and accentuated grain pattern and heft that can only be achieved with a thicker sub-trait.
Surreal offers a soft monochromatic color palette, leaning towards neutrals and darker transitional colors, which is extremely versatile for any style of furniture. The heavy pebble grain adds texture, character, and value to this leather.
Hides are hand selected and processed using state of the art technologies and procedures. A very light buffing is performed to assure an even, consistent pebble gran pattern, which highlights the final appearance.
Conventionally finished, this leather can be used in any furniture application. A clear topcoat is applied to help resist everyday stains and spills.
MILANO
Traditional/Vintage/Transitional/Contemporary. Milano has been developed to provide a beautifully consistent, soft, and affordable leather. Milano is a great value and your customers will appreciate it. This versatile leather will work well with any style of furniture in any style of American home.

AMBITION
Thicker cut for a hearty look, Ambition features a pronounced grain. The robust grain is highlighted by a medium-sheen that draws the eye to the peaks or tips of the grain. Natural-looking and full bodied, Ambition is monochromatic for a consistent, freshly modern appearance and style.
Along with its multitude of soft and bright uniform colors, Ambition features a lightly corrected, consistent grain in which the “hallmarks of the trail” have been minimized. The thicker cut of this stylish leather along with embossing results in a hearty grain pattern.
