Raw materials
Lyra Home pieces are handcrafted and customizable. Discover the materials that shape them and what each one brings to your home.
Solid wood means the piece is made of the wood itself, throughout its thickness. Natural veneer is a thin sheet of real wood applied over a stable panel, which allows large tops with a continuous grain pattern.
A finish made of several coats of paint, each one sanded and polished, applied over wood or panel. It can be glossy or matt and gives a smooth surface of uniform colour.
Frames and bases in steel or aluminium, with powder coating or metallic finishes such as chrome, brushed and gold.
Glass tops and shelves, usually tempered or laminated according to each piece's technical sheet, and mirrors with the reflective layer protected on the back.
Marble, granite, travertine and other stones extracted from nature. Each slab has a unique pattern and tone. Marble and travertine are more sensitive to acids than granite.
Tanned and dyed cowhide. Natural marks such as small scars, wrinkles and variations in pores and tone are part of its authenticity.
An upholstery material made of a textile base with a polyurethane or PVC finish that reproduces the look of leather. In the Lyra standard, synthetic leathers are classified as Leather A, B, C…
The textile covering of upholstered pieces. Velvet has a short, dense pile with a sheen that changes with the light. Linen is a natural fibre with a dry texture that creases naturally. Bouclé is made of looped yarns that create a raised texture.
The inside of sofas, armchairs and upholstered chairs: the frame, foams of different densities and fillings, which vary from piece to piece according to the technical sheet.
A handmade weave of natural fibres, such as cane, used on seats, backrests and doors.
An optional treatment applied to the upholstery fabric that makes liquids bead on the surface for a while. It does not make the fabric waterproof: it gives you time to blot the liquid before it soaks in.

To make choosing easier, every upholstery material follows the same classification, whatever the piece: fabrics as Fabric A, B, C… and leathers as Leather A, B, C…, with synthetic leathers also classified as leather.
The letter indicates the upholstery tier in each piece's price list, starting with A, the highest. Each tier includes several fabrics or leathers, presented by your consultant with their trade name, colour and swatch, in the showroom or in your quote.
