 TO THE OWNERS OF TESSA FURNITURE
Congratulations on having chosen Tessa designs for your home. Here are a few points which will help you to understand and appreciate your new furniture:
Lounge furniture like most other new products has to be “worn in”. Just as your shoes or car – it is a little “stiff” when it leaves the factory. That means everything will become softer, cushions will develop comfort creases with use in your home.
Leather will stretch and develop creases and wrinkles. Connoisseurs appreciate the “lived in” look of leather furniture. Leather being nature’s product – like timber – sets it apart from artificial materials with its growth marks, whip scars and grain variation.

Timber – also being a natural product – is alive through its subtle colour shades and grain variations. No tree grows exactly like another. Timber will mature and mellow with age – usually becomes a little darker. Our finish consists of many coats of sealers and lacquers – all hand-rubbed to achieve a smooth, satin-like finish. Areas in constant contact with your hand, eg., arm rests, may become a little more shiny with age than other areas.
Sit in your upholstered furniture in the manner for which it has been designed. Do not perch on arms or front edge of the seat. Footstools also, (particularly where the cushion is supported by a canvas sling) are designed solely as footstools rather than an extra seat for suites.
Do not allow your children to use your furniture to demonstrate their gymnastic abilities.
Leather Care - Keep your furniture away from direct heating sources and also direct sunlight. This will reduce the risk of the leather drying out. Keep the leather pores free from dust particles by vacuum cleaning regularly. Wipe the leather with a soft damp cloth every 2 - 3 weeks. In addition, clean the leather with a proprietary brand "soft cleaner" such as Leather Master or Pelle as required. In order to retain the softness and attractiveness of your leather furniture, it is recommended that a "Leather Cream" be applied as required. The frequency of application depends on the environment that the furniture is in but no more than 2 - 3 times per year.
