For the same private residence in Kensington Palace Gardens, London, De Ferranti supplied tan leather briquettes for the bedroom lobby. Laid in a herringbone configuration, the floor brings warmth, quiet pattern and a distinctly tactile luxury to an intimate transition space.

The lobby floor is formed from De Ferranti’s leather briquettes in a rich tan tone, arranged in a disciplined herringbone layout that adds movement without visual noise. The natural tonal variation across the leather creates depth and patina, while the low-sheen finish keeps the surface calm and architectural.

In a bedroom approach, leather flooring offers a unique comfort underfoot, softening acoustics and lending the space a couture, lived-in feel that stone or timber cannot replicate in the same way. Finished with clean perimeter detailing, the briquette field reads like a tailored surface rather than a decorative layer.

This Kensington Palace Gardens installation shows the versatility of De Ferranti’s Hide collection - able to shift from statement panels to more understated, texture-led flooring that elevates everyday circulation into something quietly special.
