Posted by Jessica, BiOH Polyols Marketing Manager on July 24, 2009
We are pleased to introduce the next manufacturer in our Soy Style: Did you KnOH? contest with trend leader and unique manufacturer - American Leather. (To enter the contest, all you need to do is read the daily post through July 26, leave a comment, and you’re entered to win $100 each day!)
Based out of Dallas, Texas, American Leather creates custom furniture to your specifications… in 30 days or less! The range of colors, textures, lines, and shapes in their product line seems unlimited – delightful to explore and inspires one to imagine possibilities for their home.

They also use soy-based cushions made with BiOH® polyols across their collections. We had a fabulous time touring their showroom in High Point, NC in April to check out their latest style introductions and learn about some of their favorite collections. Our first stop in the American Leather showroom was an introduction to Rob Jones, who designed the Drake collection.
Designed to be inviting and luxurious, the Drake is available as a sectional, sofa, loveseat, chair, or ottoman. The optional nail-head trim, option for contrasting seat and back cushions, different finishes, and wide range of leather or Ultrasuede® fabric selections allow you to personalize each piece to your unique style. Get an intimate look at the Drake collection with an overview directly from the designer:
Next we explored a different look with the Malibu sectional which offers innovative back cushions that adjust from a low profile to a high back to meet different comfort needs. Dubbed “the ultimate party sofa”, the Malibu could be your path towards celebrity living. Take a look:
Don’t have room for a Malibu sectional or sofa? Maybe you’d enjoy adding a conversation starter like this unique Hugo chair to your living room. The armless swivel chair adds fun to a contemporary look… without sacrificing comfort. The Hugo chair was also featured in Metropolitan Home magazine in June as the magazine highlighted “The Year’s Hottest Hue: Yellow” with the Hugo in Duval Maize.

And a visit to American Leather would not be complete without a look at the Comfort Sleeper – an original with their patented technology to offer both sit and sleep comfort without sacrificing style. The Comfort Sleeper was designed to offer more sleep space using less floor space. They are also the only sleep sofas available with a Tempur-Pedic® mattress. Take an up close look at a mattress in the Comfort Sleeper:
And best of all, you don’t have to compromise style for comfortable sleeping! The Comfort Sleeper is available in a variety of coverings – leather, fabric, Ultrasuede®, or microfiber. So you can sit in style by day…and sleep in comfort at night!

I am going to show the Drake featured in the video to my wife! What a great sectional-masculine and modern. Being a very tall man I want to sit in something that will support me and not emasculate me! Bravo – love the black leather with the nail head trim. The separating of the two pieces with something in the middle is something that I have never seen with each only having one arm rest. very cool! Checking into more American Leather for sure!

I must admit I am Mad for the TV show Mad Men. And so is my fiancee.
Looking at the furniture from American Leather and listening to Rob Jones, I can’t help but think of Mad Men.
Why? Because I can see the beautiful furniture from American Leather in that show. HA! Rob Jones could even do a guest spot on one episode. How cool what that be!!!

Speaking of conversation, I’m going to watch Mad Men on cable right now. Maybe Rob Jones did do a guest spot and I missed it!
Peace. And pass me my Martini.

Thank you for sharing your comments about American Leather furniture! Such creativity… that their furniture represents “landscaping for the inside of your house” and happy to know that a tall guy like Dean has found a sofa that fits him! Our winning comment on this post came from Bruce Barone… we’ll see if Rob is available for a TV spot and let you know! Congrats!
