Piston’s pull-up effect creates lighter tonal areas when the leather is worked or stretched. The furniture’s curves and folds therefore contribute to the final colour appearance, rather than every part remaining visually uniform.
Surface, colour and suitability
The approximate thickness is 0.9 mm. Compare its surface behaviour with a solid-colour leather if you are deciding whether visible variation suits the room and the upholstered model you have chosen.
A sample should be viewed with the pull-up character in mind, not treated as a promise of one unchanging flat shade across the entire sofa. Broad panels, seams and curved arms can show the finish differently.
Pull-up variation is part of Piston’s intended character. A lighter area around a stretched upholstered curve should therefore be assessed in the context of the finish, rather than automatically treated as a different leather colour. Confirm the desired overall palette with VAMA and use the article-specific maintenance guidance for the aged surface.

Samples and care
Discuss Piston colours and model compatibility with VAMA. Confirm care products suitable for the pull-up article before cleaning or conditioning the finished upholstery.
