Once a status symbol in the ’80s and ’90s, leather had lost its lustre, but the latest buttery soft Halo leather sofas at Freedom have come a long way from the shiny, tacky and inhospitable options of the past. These new sofas are made from premium hand finished, natural leathers for a sophisticated and timeless appeal. It’s the kind of heirloom piece that will slot effortlessly into your home as if it’s lived there forever. “These sofas are investment pieces,” says Kylie Burgon, Head of Upholstery. “They’re absolutely top quality.”

The best part? It’s affordable luxury. You can see and feel the beautiful quality leather that is tanned in Brazil and where slight imperfections have been left to create a lovely authenticity, with no two sofas the same. From the Scandi-inspired Finn sofa, low and relaxed Lola range, and the sleek Boulder modular sofa (perfect for families) to the statement Monty occasional chair, there are plenty of Halo ranges to choose from.

A great sofa needs to mould well to modern life, especially for homes with children and pets. Leather is versatile, more robust and it’s resilient. “It’s also a relaxed aesthetic that matches the Australian lifestyle,” adds Kylie Burgon, Head of Upholstery. “We don’t want perfect overstuffed leather sofas, we want something that’s more lived in.” Every sofa, armchair and ottoman will sit perfectly in any environment, from a city apartment to a coastal or country holiday home.

Choose from an earthy, organic palette that includes (in the hand dyed selection) camel, chocolate, graphite, pewter and taupe, while the premium hand waxed options come in bark, cigar, ebony, nut and pewter. Not only do we invest in quality leather, our in-store team are trained to assist in matching your lifestyle to your sofa.

And once it’s in your living room, you’ll wonder how you went without.

6 reasons to choose Halo leather…

1. We’re fussy
We only source the highest of quality leathers, meeting world-class standards that result in gorgeous supple leather sofas that wear in, not out.

2. Hand dyed
The dye colour in every piece is distributed into the fibres of the leather by hand.

3. Perfectly imperfect
The leather is totally uncorrected resulting in a natural, organic finish, where no two sofas are the same.

4. Natural look
We only use a translucent aniline dye which showcases the natural characteristics, like grain changes which are inherent in skin.

5. Curated palette
Our selection of earthy colours have been specially chosen to celebrate the leather’s natural qualities.

6. Simply the best
From concept to creation we strive for quality, selecting only the top 5% of leathers in the world.
