Tärnsjö Garveri produces 700,000 square feet per year of the finest leather imaginable, exclusively using the vegetable tanning method and hides from Swedish farms. The business has been run in the same place in Tärnsjö since 1873. The production methods have undergone change and modernisation, but the craftsmanship lives on and has been passed down from generation to generation.

Today, just under 5% of all leather worldwide is produced according to the traditional vegetable tanning method. Most of it is produced using the more time- and cost-efficient chrome tanning method instead. With the greatest respect for both the product and nature, Tärnsjö Garveri has, however, chosen exclusively to vegetable tan with bark extract since 1988.

The seats, backs and upholstery for VERK’s chairs and armchairs are produced at Tärnsjö Garveri.
